I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Lush (Leeds, England) in Apr 2016
Interview
The interview process was actually really fun and I didn't feel at all under pressure. It was a group interview so felt quite informal.
We were told to bring an item that describes us and then get into pairs to present that item and the person to the rest of the group.
2nd stage was getting into a group and designing an event/campaign and presenting it to the group.
The last stage was selling a gift set to the managers/interview hosts.
If successful in the group interview you were then invited to a trial shift where you worked as a lush sales assistant for an hour and a half. Questions were also asked by the trial shift host. This was the last stage and if you were successful, you got the job!
It was a group interview, very unconventional, hands-on, and activity-based, teamwork. They expect you to know their company values and ethics, which will carry over to your role. It was very relaxed and they made me feel very comfortable and heard.

Interview
Was offered an interview and it was fairly casual - in the cafe, and it only lasted around 45 minutes. Pretty much immediately after I was offered a trial shift, and I went and it was kind of horrible because we didn’t know anything about the products, and it also wasn’t very busy so it felt like we were competing with each other to get a customer’s attention, only to not even be able to give them proper information and just have to guess. It was a bit embarrassing and we didn’t get paid either, but we got a free shower gel. I found out I got the job on the way home from the trial shift.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Lush (Cardiff, Gales)
Interview
Onboarding session and then a practice shift which involved you sitting customers down and demonstrating products on them. Lasts around an hour, and it’s done in groups of trial shifts.
