I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Macy's (Santa Barbara, CA) in Mar 2017
Interview
Applied online and was called in for in person interview. Interview had standard questions, nothing difficult. Was offered the job on the spot. Ended up being suggested for a different department than they initially interviewed me for.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Name a time you had to deal with an unhappy customer and how did you respond.
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.
