I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Aveda (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
The interview process was lengthy. I was first called in for an in-person interview with the store manager. We went through my past experience, be sure to give sales-driven answers. She asked to describe my favorite product and then try to sell it to her. This was a fun little exercise, I recommend starting with an open-ended question like "what is your skin type?" when trying to "sell" a skin-care product.
After the in-person interview she let me know that an Estee Lauder Rep would be calling for a phone interview. This interview was about 1 hour long with a lot of open ended questions. They asked questions that really showed your character no right or wrong answers here. They can't tell you what the question means, they can only repeat the question. I recommend referring back to Aveda's Mission Statement as much as you can when you are answering questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If a coworker was speaking bad about the company what would you do?
My interviewer was very positive and outgoing and the questions were not difficult to answer. Just know your stuff about hair care and skin care. As they are the main selling targets.
It was straight forward. Overall, I would say relax and remember that it is a conversation to determine if it’s a good fit for both parties. Thinking of it that way takes a lot of pressure off
The interview wasn’t bad , just basic interview questions and where do you plan on working in the next couple of years. We sat sat in the 12 oaks food court only asked me about 6 questions
