I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Sephora (New York, NY) in Sep 2014
Interview
First, I went to a hiring event that lead to a general group interview and later placement with a specific branch and an interview with that store manager and then if you get through that, you go to a demo, which was a full face, about 45 minutes and it seems this really effects how much money they offer you. At no point was I told this would be a seasonal offer, until i recieved the offer letter, was told hourly rate was negotiable if permanently hired, this was never negotiated.
Friendly, lots of question and hypothetical situations in regards to customer service. Makeup portfolio was appreciated. Focus is on product knowledge and friendliness. Asked about retail background, what trainings I would be interested in. Also how hard I am willing to work to move up into a management position. Also my timeline I expect to management.
