I applied online. I interviewed at Sephora (Atlanta, GA) in Oct 2012
Interview
It was a group interview. They usually only hire during the holiday season and keep some seasonals based on business needs. After the group interview you will called back with an offer for seasonal. If you are condidered to stay after.the season you will get another group interview with several other managers. Then you may or may not have a 1:1 interview.

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.
