The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bath & Body Works (Emeryville, CA) in May 2012
Interview
I got an application in the store from one of the managers and returned it back to her after some days. A few days later I called to speak with her- gave her my name told her i was interested in the position and what not. A week or so later I went back in the store and talked with her again about looking over my appllication. It's safe to say I was VERY persistent lol. About a week later I recieved a call from her scheduling an interview with a manager from another store.
The interview was one of the chillest ones I've had surprisingly! Knowing that it was a group interview freaked me out but since i came early i had the chance to talk to the two other girls that were in my group which made me a lot more relaxed. My interviewer did most of the talking and we were only asked 3 questions each. It lasted about an hour but time flew. I felt very good about the way things went and apparently my positive attitude shined because I got the job. Don't let the group interview process freak you out its not as bad as I thought it would be!
