I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Sephora (New York, NY) in Apr 2016
Interview
Group interview is as far as I got. 7 girls applying at the same time and 2 managers. We went around in a circle and everyone had to answer questions. Because there were so many girls, we literally just got through 2 questions per girl before the interview was over. There was a lot of talking over each other and trying to be the star of the room, which was really annoying.
