Macy's Final Hiring Event: Thursday, November 19, 2026

Macy's is holding its final nationwide hiring event of the 2026 holiday season on Thursday, November 19, 2026 — and for job seekers who still need holiday work, this is the last walk-in day of the year at Macy's, Bloomingdale's, and Bluemercury stores nationwide. The company is offering on-the-spot interviews and job offers at participating locations, with no registration required. If you missed the September 24 and October 22 hiring days, November 19 is your last chance to walk in and get hired before Black Friday.

Macy's Hiring Event: The Short Answer

Macy's, Inc. holds its final nationwide holiday hiring event on Thursday, November 19, 2026, at Macy's, Bloomingdale's, and Bluemercury stores and select supply-chain locations across the United States. The event features on-the-spot interviews and job offers for part-time seasonal store roles and full- and part-time supply-chain positions. No registration is needed — just walk in. Event hours vary by location, so call your store first. You can also apply any time at macysJOBS.com, bloomingdalesJOBS.com, or bluemercuryJOBS.com. The company's biggest hiring markets this season are Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, and Philadelphia.

What Macy's Announced for Holiday 2026

Macy's, Inc. announced its seasonal hiring plans on September 24, 2026, with three nationwide hiring days: September 24, October 22, and November 19. The first two have passed, so November 19 is the final one. The company is filling seasonal roles across all three of its nameplates — Macy's, Bloomingdale's, and Bluemercury — plus distribution and fulfillment centers. Store roles are part-time; select supply-chain locations offer full- and part-time positions. Macy's says pay ranges are included in every job posting nationwide, but it has not published a single national pay rate, so read the range on the posting for your store before you apply.

The company named ten top hiring markets for its stores this year, with Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, and Philadelphia among the biggest. If you live outside those markets, the hiring day still runs at your local store — Macy's has not published a headcount for individual locations, so treat November 19 as a real shot at a holiday job, not a guaranteed offer. If you want to see what seasonal roles are open near you right now, the official careers portals list openings by location.

What Jobs Are Available at the Event?

Seasonal sales associate — the core store role: helping customers, working the floor, and handling holiday traffic.
Seasonal support and fulfillment roles — stocking, picking online orders, and keeping the back of the store moving during the rush.
Beauty and fragrance advisors — a big seasonal need at Macy's and especially at Bluemercury, which is the company's beauty chain.
Supply-chain and distribution roles — full- and part-time work at select fulfillment centers, including picking, packing, and shipping.
Customer service roles — handling returns, exchanges, and order questions at the service desk.

Most store roles are part-time and built around holiday hours — nights, weekends, and the days around Thanksgiving and Christmas. Thanksgiving falls on November 26 this year, with Black Friday on November 27 and Cyber Monday on November 30, so stores want people trained and on the floor before the rush. Our guide to seasonal jobs that turn into full-time work explains how holiday roles at big retailers can become permanent.

How to Get Hired on November 19: 5 Tips

1. Apply online first. Submit your application at macysJOBS.com before the event. Managers at hiring events move fastest on candidates who are already in the system — it turns the walk-in into an interview instead of a paperwork session.

2. Call your store for event hours. Macy's says event times vary by location. Call ahead so you arrive when hiring managers are actually interviewing, not after they have wrapped up.

3. Dress like you already work there. Business-casual is right for a retail hiring event: clean, neat, and ready to step onto the floor. Bring a pen and two printed copies of your resume.

4. Be ready for an on-the-spot interview. Expect the classics: why Macy's, your availability over the holidays, and how you handle a difficult customer. Have a 30-second answer ready for each. Our "Tell Me About Yourself" answer guide will help you nail the opener.

5. Say yes to the holiday schedule. The candidates who get offers at these events are the ones who can work Black Friday weekend and the week before Christmas. If your availability is limited, be honest — but know that open availability is the biggest advantage you can bring.

Missed November 19? What to Do Next

If you cannot make the November 19 event, you can still apply online at macysJOBS.com — the company keeps hiring through the season as stores fill gaps. But the hiring-day advantage disappears: after November 19, you are competing with every other online applicant instead of interviewing face to face. Other retailers are still hiring too: Kohl's is recruiting for nearly 5,900 seasonal positions and Target's portal shows more than 4,000 seasonal openings, according to Money's November 2026 tally, and our Best Buy seasonal jobs guide covers about 2,100 temporary roles paying up to $26 an hour. The National Retail Federation expects 325,000 to 375,000 seasonal hires across retail this year, so the jobs are there — the hiring events are simply the fastest way in.
