You'll first apply online through Macy's website. Some jobs might have an online assessment for customer service and situational judgment. After that, if it's a certain role, a recruiter or hiring manager might give you a quick phone call to talk about your qualifications, when you can work, and if you're interested. Then, you'll have an in-person or virtual interview. Finally, after a successful interview, Macy's does a background check before making a job offer. If you get hired, they'll tell you about training and how to get started.

I recently had the misfortune of participating in an interview that can only be described as an utter disaster. From start to finish, the experience was riddled with unprofessionalism and a glaring lack of preparation on the interviewer's part.
