J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Macy's (Honolulu, HI) en mars 2013
Entretien
I applied online and at first I received a automated rejection letter not even giving me an interview. Then a month later I get a surprising E-mail asking what time I would like to schedule the interview. So I schedule the interview soon since I know they hire on the spot and I don't want positions to run out. I arrive about 6 minutes early and I am taken in 10 minutes later. The room I was interviewed in was a messy room where other people worked. I thought that was unprofessional on Macy's part. The interviewer was actually not one of the nicer looking people working there and spoke in a condescending tone. He remarked "oh so you've been on Hawaii for a while" (actually I was born and raised here and he assumed since I am a white person I am from the outside). People in HR really should not just say random assumptions especially things related to where the person is from. Let me tell you if your in Hawaii and your interviewer is a local who thinks your a mainland outsider, then there may be some odds against you. I did not bother correcting him and telling him I'm actually from here since I already knew he carried a first impression outsider bias towards me. He then went on and asked me a series of questions which were straightforward and personality based. At one point in the interview he remarked "you should work for a bank." This also indicated that I may have been overqualified for the position, but whatever. Yes I am college student that has worked and interned at large corporations. One of the reasons I applied was to get sales experience and some side money (but I did not say that in the interview). The interviewer also did not apologize or say excuse me for taking a phone call in the middle of the interview. The only thing I respect about the interview process is that it is really quick on letting you know whether you got the job or not. The bottom line is if they don't tell you on the spot or if they don't ask you to fill out a paper then there is a good chance you did not get the offer. I got a rejection email the next day.

Virtue first. Then, at the store. Interview questions are not hard but hiring manager/s are sketchy. They posted part time positions but when I got into the interview they said their looking for people wanting full time job. So unprofessional to take my time.

Basic interview process. Applied online and was called in for an interview about a week later. Nothing crazy or out of the ordinary. No assessments needed. I talked about 2 managers.
