I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bath & Body Works (Bellflower, CA) in Sep 2016
Interview
They had multiple SM openings online and I applied to all the ones in my area online. Got an email from a recruiter to schedule an over the phone. About 15-20 minutes of standard questions. Then she decided to move me forward to a DM interview. DM was too far away from location so that was on the phone too. That was an hour and ten minutes. Yes, 70 minutes. She told me that I would hear from her with an answer within a couple of days. Two weeks went by and I reached to recruiter, only to tell me that she didn't have an answer and needed to reach to DM. I get an email two days later from recruiter that DM had decided to go with someone else. Shortly after I got called from an SM who wanted to interview me and went on site to her. Same questions, less time...
But, no callback until I reached out but SM was not available, left a message but never got callback. A couple days later another SM wanted to schedule an interview and I let her know that I had interviewed three times with Recruiter, DM and SM from another location. She told she would have to reach out to them to touch base and get feedback so that I wouldn't run around interviewing. I didn't expect a call back. Obviously there's lack of communication amongst districts. I can understand. But it's an opportunity and they should try and fix it.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
What's your current succession plan for your team?
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Bath & Body Works (Cincinnati, OH)
Interview
Same old situational questions with trying to get you to explain how you would react. You had several interview stages. First were the phone interviews and then the in person ones. I also had to do a panel interview in front of a group of current store managers.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bath & Body Works (Savannah, GA) in Apr 2013
Interview
You will interview with team store managers the district manager and then somebody from HR. The interviews are relatively casual, with lots of situational question and leadership questions. If you have been on a team before, especially as a leader, the questions should be relatively easy.
