The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Macy's (Duluth, GA) in Jul 2011
Interview
The first interview didn't take long at all.I got an email in 24 hours telling me to set up an interview. I went to the interview that took about 30 minutes asking a lot of random questions.I was told I would get a call back and I did a month later for a second interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
When was a time you gave outstanding 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.
