I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bath & Body Works in Oct 2011
Interview
I went into the store in person to ask for an application for a seasonal position. The supervisor on duty was really nice and we chatted a bit about my previous retail experience and what they were looking for. I could tell that it seemed like a positive atmosphere to work in and felt like I would fit in. I filled out the application and brought it back right away, and was called the next day to get into a group interview they were doing within a few more days. The interview itself was laid back and easy. I was with two other prospective employees and the store manager, who was very friendly. I felt at ease during the interview -- it was more like talking and getting to know one another than an actual interview. She asked us questions about ourselves in general, why we wanted to work for Bath & Body Works, and examples of both good and bad customer service we had received in the past. We also had to choose one product from the store and explain what we liked about it. Within about a week and a half I was called with an offer and I accepted.
Group interview, asked if I had experience, what products I liked, etc
