-1- I responded to craigslist ad with short cover letter/resume -2-recieved email back requesting an interview. I accepted and scheduled one. -3-interview consisted of scenario questions such as "a man asks for help choosing a lipstick, what do you do" and "a woman comes in with foundation 4 shades too dark and wants even darker shade, what do you do" the interview went really well. interviewer was extremely professional and made me feel valued and interesting. Asked questions that were pretty easy to answer without too much forethought although I recommend thinking about questions such as those I just mentioned. -4-at end of one on one interview, the counter manager conducting the interview asked if I was willing to interview by phone by the Estee Lauder Talent Plus company, I accepted. -5- four days go by and talent plus calls and schedules an interview -6-three more days and I interviewed finally -7-talent plus phone interview was conducted on 4 applicants who passed the first interview including myself. The third and final interview would be conducted and job-offered to the applicant with the best talent plus interview. the interview was 45 minutes exactly and consisted of questions such as "do you think about work outside of work hours? Describe a time that happened" and "from one to ten how organized are you, and why do you say that?" and "what to you is an ideal customer". I answered as best as I could. -8-phone interview went well, I was asked to interview for a management position as well. I accepted. we took a 5 minute break then I was called back and interviewed for another Hour and a half or so. Same type of questions as the first phone interview but more oriented around situations such as "two young female employees of yours are becoming catty and its interfering with sales, how do you handle this?" and " How do you make employee scheduling choices and why?". after concluding the 2+hours of interview over the phone, I was told I would be contacted in two days or less. -9- 5 days later ( i interviewed the day before thanksgiving so I understand) I received an email from the counter manager again asking for me to come in and speak with her. I agreed and scheduled a time about a week later at her request. I came in and she asked me if I was willing to interview with the store manager (as a makeup counter employee I would be hired by the store the counter is located in) I agreed and scheduled a time. -10- Interviewed with store manager and was offered the job. Final interview was very simple and basic about honesty, am I a team player etc. Immediately sat down with counter manager afterwards and signed papers and got introduction to working here.
