      Associate Manager Interview

      Nov 4, 2013
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty

      Interview

      First interview was with the store manager. She was great and we seemed to hit it off. I loved business culture and business plans for growth. All the questions were typical for retail and I studied the company online. Second interview with District Manager was postponed first time then rescheduled. I met with her a week later. She asked typical retail questions and was a bit rushed for time. Overall it seemed the interview went well and was very excited. Before hearing back a new district manager was transferred into the district and was left hanging for weeks. I really wanted the job and passed on a job offer for a great company (with great hours and less pay). Big mistake. It seemed to me like it was a perfect fit for me and for the store due to my background in retail. I felt I had a lock on the position at first and just got more and more stressed out waiting and waiting. After 6 weeks got a email that the position was filled internally.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty (Charlotte, NC) in Jun 2016

      Interview

      Received a phone call from the Area Manager to set up face to face interview the next day. Interview was about 45 minutes discussing my background ("tell me about yourself"). Casual, friendly/warm and relaxing interview, but still professional. Clear direction of the interview details, as well as follow up and when I'd hear for the next step in interview process (2nd interview), and when they'd make a decision.

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      Typical management questions asking for a time when I had to lead a challenging task and what was the outcome?
