I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bath & Body Works (Colonial Heights, VA) in Sep 2013
Interview
I walked in and submitted a application along with my resume to the manager on duty. I got a call for a group interview a month later. The group interview was myself, and 4 other girls. Before they took us to the storage room we were asked to pick a product from the store. Prepare yourself before the interview to demo your product. Go to their website, select a signature collection fragrance and study the top notes, and ingredients. Their product descriptions on their website are very informative! Be yourself, and speak up! It's okay to nerves, it's normal! But don't let your nerves keep you quiet! It's better to give a rocky answer than to seem shy. They want to see your personality so they can get a idea of how you will interact with customers. The mangers were super sweet! Just be friendly and smile!
