I applied online. I interviewed at Benefit Cosmetics
Interview
I filled out a form online. A few days later I was given a quick telephone interview. After I had passed these two stages I was invited for an interview in Costa near the store. This was at 10am. The lady was very patronising and made a joke about one of my previous jobs that I did not find funny. I was then told to come back at 2 o clock for a trial shift. This meant I had to wait around for 3 and a half hours! I did the trial shift, I was confident, I sold a product, I described the products to the client and even enjoyed myself whilst doing it. I was sent home and received an email the next day saying I had not received the job. I could understand this if I had done something wrong, but I didn't. Biggest waste of time I have ever had! Management are rude and condescending - I would advise everyone I can to not bother with benefit! They only care about sales and obviously used me for some free work.

The process was clear, structured, and flexible, allowing me to complete it at my own pace while demonstrating my personality and suitability for the position.
