I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sephora (New York, NY) in Feb 2014
Interview
The manager that did the interview didn't ask many questions. It was more so to get a feel of your personality and how you meshed with hers. The questions that were asked though were basic "tell me when you did this and when you did that" questions. Interview was constantly interrupted and the manager kept reiterating that she wasn't in her role long and didn't know what she was doing. Heh. That's Sephora for ya!
