      Application

      I interviewed at Sephora

      Interview

      There were multiple interviews for this position. Questions were not hard, just wanted to see if you would be a good fit and your true personality/ skill set. Interviews were with different levels of managers and not much longer than 45 min.

      Question 1

      How would you handle a rude client?
      Answer question
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Sephora in May 2010

      Interview

      This was an internal promotion interview. The position was available for a lead role. I was made aware by my store director. Internally there was some prepping that was done. My store director wanted to make sure I was set up for success. She told me specifics on what types of things that may be asked in my interview and even walked through some questions with me. Had to phone interview with DM and SD from the location. Very business driven questions on how to grow, specific challenges I would encounter, etc.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Sephora (New York, NY) in Dec 2014

      Interview

      The process overall was quick and easy. Since it was two weeks before Christmas, I got to meet with the Store Director, General Manager and one of the Lead Managers. They asked about my past experiences and it was not at all scary.
