I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sephora (Tallahassee, FL) in Sep 2014
Interview
It was a group interview with about 7 other women. It lasted about 30 minutes or so. Felt very warm and inviting like we were just having a conversation. The questions asked were very scenario based. "Describe a time when..." type of questions. Just be honest and let you personality shine through.

Question 1
Why do you want to work for Sephora? Why should we hire you?
Interview process was very straightforward with follow up calls and scheduling happening very consistently and within a couple of weeks. The questions felt client - oriented and applicable to the role.
I was given a single interview with very basic questions. I have seen the store give group interviews so be prepared for that. So long as you sound confident, show passion, and practice giving answers to basic questions and prepare to give examples in situations related to customer service, you're doing better than most.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself? Why you want to work here? Strengths and Weaknesses.
It was a group interview and it had like 8 people. We went around in circles. The person interviewing was sweet. It did not have anything to do with makeup but a lot to do with customer service
