I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bath & Body Works (Findlay, OH) in Jun 2012
Interview
I applied in person in early April and never heard anything back. Because of this, I called the second week in May to ask if they would be doing anymore hiring and a week later I was called in for an interview. The process was very similar to those described on this website. I interviewed with SIX other girls so it was a little difficult to get a word in edgewise, but it was very laid back. I did not answer every question but I did answer most. The manager seemed very impressed by the fact that I was the only one who knew the store's return policy (which applies to the burnt candl question). I also practiced the whole "talk about your favorite product" thing and I feel that the preparation worked to my advantage. I just had the interview today and will find out Sunday whether or not I will be offered a position, but I feel very confident!
I interviewed at Bath & Body Works (North Brunswick, NJ)
Interview
Will ask you to play out sales scenario towards end of shift. Very inviting and welcoming environment from management. You do not need prior sales experience they will teach you.
I interviewed at Bath & Body Works (Forest Hills, NY)
Interview
Very structured and easygoing. The hiring manager was very polite and asked important questions. I didn't hear back until about two weeks later, and I accepted the position. Ended up working there for 4 years and had an awesome experience.
basic interview on your commong skills in the workplace asking questions like what was a difficult experience you had and how did you deal with it, what are your strong and weak points, etc.
