I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Macy's in Oct 2017
Interview
The first time I showed up for at my scheduled interview, I waited for 30+ minutes until they said they couldn't see me and rescheduled. The next interview was fine, very easy. I was interviewing for a position in the cosmetics dept. and they asked a few questions about my knowledge of makeup.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
(For job in cosmetics) Do you have experience applying makeup on other people?
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.
