Interview
I applied for the position online thinking I would not get an interview because I had no cosmetics experience, however I did have extensive retail experience. I was invited to schedule myself for an interview with the cosmetics manager a few days later. The interview lasted quite awhile because I spoke a lot about my retail experience, which the manager did seem to like. I was then told I would be getting a call from the regional manager of the brand. I got that call a few days later and interviewed with her the next week. After that interview I was told I may be contacted by the counter manager, and was contacted a week later. So this was a long process, (3 weeks) but I did get the job and I accepted it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The business is going through a slow evening. How would you go about getting customers to purchase and how would you still be able to reach your store goal?
Very unorganized interview process, by the time they got back to me I already accepted another offer. I don’t even think they knew I was suppose to have an interview that day. Confusion from start to finish
