I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at The Body Shop (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2013
Interview
After dropping off my resume in-store, I didn't expect to be contacted at all. I was called less than one week later by the manager, who asked me for an interview. I did a second one about two weeks later with the assistant manager, which consisted of pretend-selling a product to her after she told me about it to see how well I'd do. The second one was to see if the assistant manager liked me, too.
After the second interview I was asked to apply online, and within the week I was hired.

Why do you want to work here
Easy interview. Felt more like a conversation than being grilled on my resume. The manager asked me about my interests in the industry and my thoughts on skincare. I was asked behavioral questions as well.
I applied online. I interviewed at The Body Shop (Reading, Inglaterra)
Interview
Friendly, chatty, bubbly. Many questions about customer service, products, sales, teamwork, information about the company, previous jobs, and many things like that. The next day I think I received an email from them with a job offer.
