Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto un giorno. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Macy's (San Mateo, CA) nel mese di nov 2011
Colloquio
Looked up job openings on Monster and saw Macy's hiring seasonal so I went and applied online. The usual questions like phone number, school, and other general things were present. I think there was a personality test too, where they ask you questions about what you'd do in a situation and etc, wasn't too hard. Got an email the next day asking me to schedule my own appointment day and time, but I noticed all the options were set for the next day so I just went with it. I saw a button that said "Not ready today" but it was also a first come first serve thing so I didn't bother. Wear all black I suggest (black dress shirt collared, tie not too important as I didn't use one, black slacks and try to wear black shoes) since that is the uniform, or at least very dark clothes.
If you had no customer service experience and a customer asked you to help him pick something out, say a shirt, how would you do it? (Possibly followed up by: Say the customer loved the shirt, how would you convince him to buy more than just that?")
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.

Colloquio
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.
