The process took 4 days. I interviewed at The Body Shop (Barrie, ON) in Oct 2015
Interview
I applied to the Body Shop in store with a simple cover letter and handed it to the assistant manager. I was a frequent shopper at their store and I love their products, and I just so happened to be looking for a job. A few days later, I was called in for an interview by the manager. The interview was very simple. She asked me what my favourite body Shop product was, if I enjoyed doing make up applications, she gave me scenarios, for example, if an ignorant customer came in and was being unruly and disgusting, what would I do. And so forth. She asked me about my availability. They are very flexible with people who have school and/or other jobs. I am a full time second year Uni student (I am 19), with another job (Green Earth, also amazing!) which is in the same mall as the Body shop, and they are very flexible and nice with me. I am only seasonal, but she said that there's an open position once seasonal ends if I am interested (of course I am!) I had an amazing experience. I haven't started working there yet, but I got hired :) and the manager and I have a very nice professional relationship! I can't wait to start there. I really can't wait.

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.
