      Sales Associate/Cashier Interview

      Oct 14, 2014

      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Sephora in Aug 2014

      Interview

      So I applied back on August 19th. They called and asked why I wanted to work for Sephora, customer service experience, and a little of my retail background. I went on an interview that same day or either the next day. I did my research and wore all back with either a red lipstick or berry color. But anything lip color would do, and slightly beat face. It was a group of 4 including myself. We went around and asked the same questions as you see from previous reviews. Then we asked if we had any questions for the Beauty Lead. From there she stated because of the time we were interviewing it may be a solid position or seasonal. I got a call a few days later to interview with the next manager, Aug 22nd. This one was a one on one, i didn't wear black but i did do my face. She pretty much went over the questions I answered on the 1st interview. She asked about my availability, hours, my future goals, customer service experiences bad and good. Then she stated wait a couple days and she would call to set up the final interview. Final interview was Aug 26th. The manager of the store was a guy, he touched a little bit on my resume and hours. He then asked to tell him more about myself that my resume wouldn't tell him. He asked a lot of personality questions, Like what were my activities for the 4th of July, what was my favorite restaurant and why? I guess thats to see more of your personality. I didn't get a job offer until Oct 7th, we were playing phone tag and I was calling everyday. Then finally one of the store managers called Oct 13 with an offer. Of course I'm seasonal because anything from Oct fwd is usually seasonal. But I'm more than excited. They sent me a link to accept the job offer and then the welcome page, tax forms and things. Which I like, it saves time during orientation. Speaking of orientation, it is in 2weeeks:)

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Sephora

      Interview

      I was given a single interview with very basic questions. I have seen the store give group interviews so be prepared for that. So long as you sound confident, show passion, and practice giving answers to basic questions and prepare to give examples in situations related to customer service, you're doing better than most.

      Tell me about yourself? Why you want to work here? Strengths and Weaknesses.
