I filled out an application online and then they sent me an email to schedule a time and day. I went in the following week and sat down with the human resources manager. She had to ask questions that were listed on a piece of paper where she would then write notes about what I said. In retail you really need to play by corporate's rules when your store is run by a company. The human resource manager was an older lady, and what surprised me was that she did not seem to know what to ask me after she ran out of the listed questions. From what I remember the interview was less than 10 minutes, and that was including my questions. It turned out they did not have the available hours I was looking for, so I do not know if that was why i was not hired but it is possible. She just told me that they were in "the first stages of the interviewing process" and so forth. She seemed nice enough but I had an inward desire to say "sure you are." My friend once interviewed with them, and said they did not seem serious about the interview. They did not give him a chance to answer all the questions, and they actually told him that they "do not currently have any available positions." I have heard that Macy's hires candidates before they even interview everybody...brilliant.

Was invited to schedule myself for an interview and used their online computer system to schedule myself for a good date and time. I really liked that feature. Interview was scheduled but the person conducting the interview was not named. I called a few times to get this information and be prepared, but no one answered the phones. Met with a very nice supervisor. However, the position I applied for and the interviewed for had different details. I applied for a full time position, but was told the position was a temporary part time, flex position meaning a (winter) seasonal, part time position was a guaranteed 12 housr p er week. I felt misled. I did not like that flex positions schedules seem to change every week. That means its almost like an on-call position. I was asked questions that were read off a paper. Questions included: Tell me about a time when you saw a co-worker being dishonest. How would you respond. Tell me about a conflict you've had at work. How did you respond? Were you successful in resolving the conflict? Why do you want to work for Macy's? Give an example of working on a team. There were a few others I could not recall. I was told the questions you are asked depend on how you fill out the application. I did not like the way I was mislead about the position and stopped the interview midway to let them know I was no longer interested. I hope this helps someone else out there before deciding to attend the interview.
