I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's (Commack, NY) in Dec 2010
Interview
They gave me the job right on the spot. They promised only one weekend day every two weeks. I waited to be interviewed for almost an hour while my personal interview only lasted about 10 minutes. They lied about their promises in the end. They did answer my questions and were a little rude about answering some of them.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Discuss a time where you found it hard to display good customer service.
Was interviewed for a seasonal position. Was told they have no seasonal positions, once they found out I was a college student. Made no sense to me quickly ended the interview.
The interview process was straightforward and fairly quick. It started with a phone interview from a recruiter or hiring representative who asked general questions about my background, availability, and interest in the role. The tone was professional but conversational, and the interviewer focused on making sure I could handle a fast-paced, customer-facing environment.
I had one interview with the store manager and it lasted for about 45 minutes. The interview was all standard behavioral questions. I was offered the job on the spot.
