The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Bath & Body Works (New York, NY)
Interview
The interview was informal. I was told I did not get the job due to a lack of retail experience. The manager reviewed my resume and saw that retail was not listed. I really don't understand why she called me in for an interview to waste my time.
Group interview. Typical questions about past experience, dealing with customers, and working with a team. They also ask you to pick a product and describe what you like about it like you’re trying to sell it.

First, they called to set up an interview. Then, they interviewed in a small employee area of the store. They said they would get back to me within three days then they ghosted me. I called to follow up and was told they would get back to me the next week. Again, I was ghosted with zero communication (not even a rejection email).
