I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bath & Body Works (Houston, TX) in May 2011
Interview
I applied on a Sunday & got a call back Monday for a group interview. I actually missed the call, but the guy left a message (unlike another location!). That Wednesday I showed up 15 minutes early & the store manager almost made it seem like a bad thing :/ But when four other girls showed up, she took us to the backroom and told us that we could answer or not answer the questions, no pressure, and that we could just speak up & didn't have to raise our hand or anything. I answered three out of the six questions, and it looked like she liked my answers, but I didn't get a call back (although she was only looking for 2 people out of 15+ interviewees). I was really worried about it being a group interview, but it ended up not being as stressful or intimidating as I thought. As for attire, I wore a casual business dress with classic low heeled pumps, but other girls were in nice black pants and some sort of nice blouse or layered shirts with flats or nice sandals.

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.
