Interview
I applied online and got a call for an interview several days later. I wore all black, business casual. The first interview was a group interview with two other people and a specialist at the store, and the second interview was a one-on-one with the general manager. The interviewers were very relaxed and relatable so it made the process much easier. I applied for a cashier position so they asked customer service related questions about our previous experience. A few more questions were asked to get a feel about how easygoing we were/ what our personalities were like. One thing I like is that they described the work environment and how Sephora really cares about its employees. They made it seem even more enjoyable to work for Sephora beyond the benefits we already knew about when heading in. A lot of the questions asked were based on your answers so it made it seem more like a conversation than just questions being read off of a paper.

Interview
Group interview to start then had a 1 on 1 with the store manager. I was applying for a seasonal position that turned into part time. Because I was interested in being a beauty adviser, I also had to complete a makeup application on an employee.
I've applied through indeed, the HR does the first screening, they first call you to ensure your interest. They then invite you to the store for group interview. You break into a small group of 5-6 people.
