I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Benefit Cosmetics (Bolton, England) in Nov 2025
Interview
3 step interview.
First step is an automated recorded interview (ai). Fairly simple, competency based questions.
Second step is a makeup audition that genuinely lasted 5 mins. The rest was talking about benefit. Asked me to sell the mascara.
Third Step is a boots store approval: very informal, meeting with an assistant manager: this focused more on sales and how to bring back customers and how i would promote products.
