I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's (Kahului, HI) in Mar 2010
Interview
Originally applied online through Careerbuilder.com and the Taleo online HR system. Gave standard amounts of information, and completed a 30-minute 140-question personality test. 2 Weeks Later, got a email that asked me to confirm on an appointment that they set at a nearby Macy's. I replied and accepted. I arrived, was greeted by the sales associate in the department I was slated to be working for, and waited for fifteen minutes while the HR Representative finished business and met me at another location in the Macy's. The interview was fairly standard, with questions like "What makes you special and valuable to Macy's", and "Do you know anyone here". Exited the interview with a semi-promise of on-call work. Never called back.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What can you bring to Macy's as a Sales Associate?
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.
