I applied to two local stores in my metro area because they had different jobs available. Macy's has an online system for applying. Using the same resume for each of the two positions, and crafting individual cover letters to point out my skills specific to each position, I was declined for the cosmetics manager position at one store but was called in for a sales associate position at another. The decline came in the form of an email saying that they were not looking for someone with my skills at this time but would keep my application on file. The interview for the cosmetic sales position went extremely well, or so I thought, because the HR manager told me I would make a good fit. On the sales position, the same thing happened. I had a great interview with a floor manager, but received the same email. I later went into the store where the sales associate position was declined to do some shopping and bumped into the manager whom interviewed me. He thought I was there to start work, but when I told him about the email, he said it had to be a mistake. Two weeks later I received a phone call from him asking if I would take a position that was not in sales. Needing the extra income, I accepted.

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.
