I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Bath & Body Works (Buena Park, CA) in Sep 2010
Interview
Came in for an interview with 3 other people. Before we got interviewed by the manager, they had us grab any product in the store and later on we described what we liked about the product. I didn't have to do the hand demo but I heard that the other interviewees did. Most likely, you'll have to so be prepared. Since it was a group interview, there were 8 questions asked but each person only answered 2, which helped out alot. Overall, easy interview with typical questions like why would you like to work for our company and what are your weaknesses. Also, they asked some role playing questions like, what would you do if a customer came in dissatisfied with a product.
Group interview, asked if I had experience, what products I liked, etc
Was with around 6 other girls, sat in a circle with us taking turns answering questions. Around 15 minutes, we were all hired
