Macy's Has Hired A Huge Cohort Of New College Grads To Fill Its Executive Ranks (Retail picking up!)
Business Insider ^ | 06/11/2012 | Kim Bashin

Macy's has hired 730 new college grads for full-time gigs in its Executive Development Program and 326 current students for summer internships. That's 1,056 total hires.

This is a big new cohort for Macy's, and a 30 percent increase from last year's hiring numbers.

It's good sign as Macy's continues to try to wrestle market share away from JCPenney. If JCPenney succeeds in its turnaround, Macy's is going to need as much top talent as it can get to fend it off in the long-term.

The new hires will be working in stores, merchandising, brand development, online, IT, logistics, credit and corporate services.

This quote from “The Imposters” seems fitting as they’re both pandering to gays:

Sparks: Perhaps we should wrestle sometime. Do you like the taut roundness that exercise brings to the buttocks?
Maurice: [uneasy] Yeah.
Sparks: Do you enjoy the warmth of the Mediterranean sun on that self-same place? I once wrestled a man on the steps of the Acropolis, when the sun was at its height, wearing only what God sent me into the world with. Can you picture that? That’s where we’ll wrestle, my semi-Grecian lad. That’s where I’ll make a man of you.

No doubt all of them majored in engineering. As we all know from comments on many other threads, those who have degrees in other areas have no prayer of getting a job.
