I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Macy's in Oct 2014
Interview
Started at the career fair then had two phone interviews; one with the recruiter, the other with a District Manager. Was invited to the onsite interview the next week. It is two days and expenses are paid. I recommend you make an effort to build relationships with the other candidates and employees. While they are not officially reviewing your performance during meals and transition periods, your behavior will have an influence on their perception of you.

Interview
for on-campus recruiting there were 1 parts to it: situational and behavioral
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
situational is a little unexpected -- there is no prep you can really do for it.
they give you about an in-store example and want to see how you handle it with employees and such.

Interview
Spoke with a recruiter at a campus job fair, received an interview. Interview was two parts, a case study then a behavioral. For the case, I received a list of 5 employees on my "team", and had to decide which one to coach based on a short bio and sales stats. The behavioral was fairly straightforward, but I was asked questions at a fairly rapid pace.
