I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Sephora (Columbia, MD) in Sep 2014
Interview
I was contacted a few months after applying. We started with a group interview, then progressed to a one on one. It was very pleasant! Everyone was very friendly and the girls I interviewed with were equally kind. The interview itself was fairly short, and I wasn't asked the "perfume question" that I've seen in a lot of other Glassdoor reviews.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Sephora (Las Vegas, NV) in Oct 2015
Interview
Applied online. Got a call from store manager asking me to come in for a group interview and the store they were hiring for. They asked pretty basic questions. Only took 40 min total with three other girls. They would call for a second interview if they were interested. They called the same night asking me to come back for the 1:1 interview. It was a relaxed interview with basic questions again, asking what area of Sephora you want to work in. They take you out on the floor and ask you to role play so they can see how you work! After second interview they will tell you if you got hired.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Sephora (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2015
Interview
Honestly, I was already offered another cosmetics position and it wasn't seasonal it was actually full-time. But after applying here months ago, I get a call the next day I was offered a job. OF COURSE I wasn't going to turn this opportunity down.
Accepted the interview, it was suppose to be a group interview but couldn't attend a specific time due to my current job. The hiring manager was kind enough to set up an interview an hour after the group interview. Which I was relieved. I mean I have done group interviews before but I love the whole "one on one" type of feel. But the interview was so smooth and I made the hiring manager laugh a few times and got super comfortable with her.
Then two days later I received an email by the hiring manager to set up a phone interview with store director. That part was so easy and smooth! Thank god!
