First you either apply to the store or apply with a makeup vendor. The first interview I had was with Estee Lauder's regional account executive. The interview was at 9am. I then was told to go home and apply to the store she thought was the best fit. After that I had a special skills interview. Then I had an interview with the store manager via phone because she needed someone in there fast And the cosmetics manager was out of town. The next day I received a call from HR offering the job and rate of payment etcetera. They pay a decent amount above Minimum wage with 3% commission bonus.
