I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Sephora (Colorado Springs, CO) in Mar 2014
Interview
I applied online. It took about 2 weeks then I got an email inviting me to a group interview. Try to be as cheery & upbeat as possible! They really pride themselves on upbeat cast members who can provide great customer service. There was about 7 of us which took about an hour. Because it's a group interview, try to stand out as much as possible. (everyone wears mostly black to the interview)
3 days later I received another email asking me to come in for a one on one interview. This one was really short. They asked about availability and when I could start. I then had to do a demo which is where you role play as a cashier. It's a bit awkward but they really just want to see how you interact with the clients. I was offered the job during that interview and was sent an email a few days later with the specifications of the job offer.

I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sephora (Lynnfield, MA)
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.
