i applied online and received an email a couple of days later for an interview. I went in and spoke with the jewelry counter manager. She was really laid back and she just read like 8 questions off of a packet. Just be lively. They wanna make sure that you aren't nervous (I was, but she couldn't tell) or else, how are you suppose to sell? She then said I was very sociable and fun. She arranged for me to come back three days later to meet with the cosmetics manager. When I came back, it wasn't really an interview. The manager and I spent fifteen minutes talking about college and whatnot. Very kind woman. She then offered me a job as an flex associate/on-call.

I worked at Macy's in the late 2010s. The cosmetics manager asked me several questions. A few questions were difficult, like asking about what I would do if I saw a coworker stealing, but most were straightforward. She was also very respectful and supportive since I was unsure how to answer a few of the questions. They know that you need time to learn. Overall, it was a great experience for a beginner applicant.
