I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Benefit Cosmetics (Aberdeen, Scotland) in Mar 2015
Interview
I had a one to one interview first which was your basic CV kind of questions, you have to show that you are outgoing, excitable and passionate. They love to see you smiling and confident. After that my audition was the same day. I auditioned in Debenhams on counter. It was all about gaining customers. I asked every single passer by to come for an "exclusive free mini makeover" it was all about getting customer to sit down and ultimately buy products. They give you advice before you start on which products they want you to use during the audition. I was advised by one of the girls to get at least three people to sit down. The interview lasted about 15 minutes and the audition was 3 hours on counter.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Benefit Cosmetics (Marcianise)
Interview
Si inizia con un’ audition ( ti dicono che ci sara’ un gettone di presenza, mai percepito!) durante la quale devi dimostrare le tue abilità nella vendita. Mi hanno spiegato poco e niente, pretendendo gia’ da subito alte performance. Segue poi un’intervista telefonica, improntata piu’ che altro a capire le tue aspettative, in quanto non si capiscono le condizioni contrattuali, o meglio per quanto tempo durera’ il tempo determinato e semmai ci sara’ la probabilità di un indeterminato; poiche’ sono quasi sempre sostituzioni maternita’.
