I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Lush (Carlisle, England) in Feb 2016
Interview
We were invited to a recruitment evening after handing our CV in to the store. It consisted of about 40 other applicants for 2 sales assistant and 1 stock assistant position. We were involved in all the same tasks despite the differing job roles so I assume they like the applicants to be well rounded for all aspects of Lush basically. We focused on team listening as an activity in which we had to listen to an allocated partner and reflect later back to the group about key facts about the person, had to list down our availability and also had to do a quick role play to sell a product to another allocated partner.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
No questions were really asked apart from "Tell us about your partner", "Where are you from" etc just general chit chat in a giant swarm of people... Top tip is to be extroverted!
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Lush (Cardiff, Wales) in Aug 2015
Interview
All three of the staff was friendly and all we had to do was stack a shelf while the managers watched, how hard could that be? Pretty hard when you're small and quiet. Didn't even touch a box but turned out that everything I said (to myself) is what they were looking for. All the other girls tried to show off and get in.
