I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty in Sep 2013
Interview
I completed an online application and was contacted within a week to schedule an interview. I met with the salon manager in the salon and we sat down for a casual interview which lasted about 20 minutes. We discussed hours, duties, and wages. The wages were based on commission, which was tiered according to experience and productivity. We discussed advancement opportunities. Managers and regional managers were paid a salary and expected to work well over 40 hours per week. I was offered the job, but decided not to accept because it seemed as though the earning potential, given the work load, was not what I was looking for. I opted to continue booth renting instead.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
None during the interview, although the online application is a very long and tedious process with several pages of questions designed to give them insight into work habits, personality, etc.
Applied for position and got a call literally within minutes. Had an interview the next day. Pretty pleasant experience. Was hired within a week and started within two. I was never told that I was being hired for Operations until I started training. Also wasnt told that I would have to be available at 5/6 AM for Truck, Ad, or Planograms. Which I later found out wasnt even in my job description. I was actually doing the job of two people. Also found out (after being hired) I was offered almost $4.00 less than the person I was replacing.
I applied online. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty (Minneapolis, MN)
Interview
I received an email one morning and that afternoon had a phone interview. After the phone interview, I was asked to come in for an interview with the DM the next day.
I came in for the interview and a manager from another store greeted me and did my interview because the DM was on a conference call. I was disappointed that I could not be interviewed by the DM.
Typical interview questions. Nothing seemed prepared though. Was just kind of questions off the top of their head.
