I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Macy's (Tukwila, WA) in Feb 2014
Interview
Sent in Resume and was contacted within 24 hrs for interview.
Went upstairs to a dusty room to interview with a young lady.
The questions were easy and I was set up for a second interview within a few days.
The second interviewer was able to answer some questions I had about Macy's being a good company for lateral growth and female friendly.
They asked if I would be interested in working with a different department and I said no.
I was glad I did not get the job after walking through and seeing how many people are employed in the makeup area.
I got the feeling it would have been high pressure sales with a high turnover of young women working under me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give an example of a time you solved a problem - describe the problem and your solution.
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.
