I applied online. I interviewed at Macy's (Miami, FL) in Mar 2017
Interview
I applied online and received an email 2 or 3 days later asking me to scheduling an interview. I applied for the Clinique Counter Manager position, but when I went for my interview the lady who interviewed me introduced herself as the Clinique Counter Manager. I didn't say anything about the position because I figured that she would eventually explain what was going on, but instead she conducted an interview like normal. The interview took maybe 10 minutes, just basic getting to know you questions, and then at the end she offered me a part-time position. I finally told her that I thought I was interviewing for a counter manager position, and she shrugged it off and said that they only had a part-time position available at that time. She asked me to come back the next day to meet the store's cosmetic manager and do some paperwork, but I ended up canceling and told them that I wasn't interested in a part-time position.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
asked me to describe my past work experience in more detail
Recieved phone call to come in for in-person interview. Was told to expect an email from the brand tep for a 2nd and final interview. This didn't happen. I followed up a few times to ensure I hadn't missed any communication and was blatantly given the run around and lied to by the hiring manager. She didn't make eye contact during the interview and yawned several times throughout. Had they not wanted to move forward with me then they should have communicated next steps properly vs telling me lies that I'm still being considered and should hear from the rep soon for my 2nd interview. I wouldn't trust working for an individual who's communication and behavior just demonstrated they lack proper training and skills themselves to communicated with applicants. If I can't trust that what you tell me is 100% true at face value then I'm afraid it would have been a bad start to a relationship anyway. Disappointed in my interviewer and the folling communication and lack f respect and integrity shown to me.
After 30 minutes of sitting in waiting area for the interviewer to come(and me getting no response when I reached out to let the person who set up the interview know Id been waiting), I got up and left. Complete disregard for my time.
The Store Manager was kind and informative. The interview process was fast and there was a second interview with the ASM, In person for both interviews, and there was little time between communication and interviews.
