I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty (Peoria, IL) in Jun 2014
Interview
Submitted my application online. Received a call about 6 weeks later to come in for a group interview. I was interviewed with two other girls by the associate and assistant associate manager. About a week later, I got called to have a second interview with the general manager. Interviewed with the general manager and received a call a week later offering me a position. The hiring process took about 10 weeks from time of application, which is a really long time for a retail job.

Question 1
Explain a time that you had a conflict with a coworker or manager. What did you do to resolve the issue and what would you have done to prevent it?
Super simple. Was contacted after applying on website and met in person for 15 minutes. Interviewer was super sweet and mostly just wanted to see how I interact and talk with people.
The interview was relaxed and casual, held in the back of the store. Management was very down to earth, and we had a great conversation. I was told that the work environment in the store was very supportive and friendly, and I really felt that energy during the interview.
