Entrevista
I found the opening listed on Monster for Macy's and decided to give it a try. I applied on line and found the on line application process to be time consuming. Needed to complete another in the store prior to the interview. I had a great interview with the cosmetics department manager, and was sent on to the HR manager for addidional questions. I had a good feeling about the outcome. She told me that Clinique would contact me for a "structured interview" for the counter manager position at thiis high volume store. I received the call for the phone interview about a week later, and arranged for it the next day. The structured interview was interesting. The questions were around job functions and personal characteristics requiring yes/no responses, and the subsequent questions required expanding on the answers. I thought that I did well on all three interviews, but I was called about a week later and was told that the position was filled, but no explaination was given. I was offered an opportunity to interview for Dior cosmetics but declined. Honestly, I did not like the structured interview. It was very impersonal and I could not get a sense of where they were going with the questions. It lasted for over an hour, With each question, the person on the other end keyed in responses on her computer and made some sort of evaluation of my skills and abilities without the benefit of knowing who I am as a person. I did not like the the attitude of the the person who arranged the phone interview. I felt forced to schedule the interview at an inconvient time for me and was not given much of an option. One of my friends told me a day later that she saw the same position relisted on Monster after I was told that the position was filled. Makes me wonder what happened.

I applied online and was emailed to schedule an interview within 24 hours. I scheduled for about a week later and when I arrived (after driving 45 minutes after working at my other current job) I was told the interview was canceled because the manager was on vacation. So rescheduled for the following week. When I interviewed with the manager she seemed engaged and interested in my answers. She told me to take the Talent Plus assessment and she would give me a call to let me know the results. I never got a call. I called the store once to thank my interviewer and inquire about the results a week later, but never ever got a call back. I applied at Ulta about a month later to work at Clinique and it turns out I passed. I felt pretty awful to not get a call back, I was afraid I didn’t pass the test.

Blind application process which I find frustrating. Interview process unusual - preliminary over the phone with Macy's. Then in person at Macy's, then phone with Clinique. Then the Talent Plus lengthy interview required before being in person interview with Clinique. After being hired you find out how you rated in the Talent Plus portion. Clinique does not hire without "passing" the Talent Plus portion.
