I applied online. I interviewed at The Body Shop (Chicago, IL) in May 2014
Interview
Applied online a few months ago, and received a '"we aren't interested in you" passive aggressive e-mail soon after. Went to The Loop location to possibly apply in person, and employees were abrasive.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Body Shop (Toronto, ON) in Dec 2010
Interview
Hired on the spot. Interview was friendly, inviting and very open to conversation. Manager of store interviewed me. Overall great and positive experience!
I'd change nothing in the process as it was easy and fun.
After developing a friendly customer relationship, the store manager informed me that they seeking sales associates and encouraged me to apply. The application process was online and took about 30-45 minutes. Once the application went through, I received a phone call to come in for an interview about 2 weeks after I applied. The interview included basic questions.
