Interview
I applied online and received an email 1-2 days later asking me to schedule an interview. I went to the interview in professional attire (black slacks, striped button-down shirt, flats) and sat in the waiting room. I was early so I waited approx. 10 mins before I was called in by my interviewer (who I was later told was my cosmetics department manager). The interview went very well. I told him everything that he wanted to hear (I'm comfortable with touching people's faces and applying makeup, I have good conversation skills, I know how to ask open-ended questions, I know how to make a connection with a customer, I am proficient with registers/technology). Before the interview I was under the impression that I would be working at a different counter than the one he offered. He saw potential in me and decided to put me at one of the higher-traffic counters. I did not decline. After the initial interview he told me I would receive a call from the counter's executive, which I did a few days after. I told her basically the same things I told him, which she seemed to appreciate. She told me I would hear from him again in a few days to see if I got the job or not. I didn't receive a call from him after 4-5 days and so I called the account executive back. She told me to call him again. I didn't appreciate the lack of communication on his part. But, when I did call him back he gave me an offer and a pay rate. I accepted.
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

the interview was straightforward and the manager was very friendly and professional. The interview was also very long and thorough. I would come extra prepared and with a highly professional attitude.
