I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bath & Body Works (Garland, TX) in Sep 2011
Interview
I went to the store and filled my application out there. A few days later I was called to come in for an interview. I assumed it would be a 1 on 1 interview, but I had to interview with 5 other women. We were asked to pick out any item in the store and give a sales pitch on the item. We were then asked a series of questions that consisted on how we would handle certain situations that may occur while working in the store. We were also asked how we handled a negative situation at previous job. The lady that interviewed us was very nice and personable.
