Group Interview that lasted approximately 45 minutes (group of around 8 of us). There was one manager and one supervisor with us. There was approximately 10 questions.

Question 1
What would you do if a customer dropped a perfume bottle they paid for immediately after buying it.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Sephora (Corpus Christi, TX) in Nov 2024
Interview
Interview was quick. I filled out my information and availability while I waited. Job posting stated nothing regarding availability requirements for this position. She saw my hours and just immediately said it wouldn't work because she needs people who could stay past midnight for the seasonal store hours, which I could not do. Literally took me longer filling out that form than the actual Interview. If the availability they were looking g for had been posted on the job description, I wouldn't have applied in the first place. Complete waste of time.

What would you do in a situation when a customer is dissatisfied
There were questions about my previous job and how I'm gonna deal with angry clients. It's important to stay positive and try to calm down. It was a good experience even with the language barrier.
