I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2012
Interview
Very easy, no tricky questions, asked about availability and described the position, walked through the store, showed me where everything was, asked about my grades and dependability, it was a very pleasant meeting
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty (New York, NY)
Interview
It was quick and to the point. Straight forward questions and an overview of what the job entails. The hiring manager also told me what the dress code was like, what the discount is and gratis.
Everyone was very friendly. It was an one on one interview. Felt comfortable. The person interviewing was extremely nice and made you feel comfortable. I applied online and within a few hours I got a call and set up an interview for the next day.
