Store Manager Interview

Negative experience

Average interview

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at M·A·C Cosmetics (San Bernardino, CA) in Oct 2020

Interview

I went through 2 weeks of interviews and then was completely ghosted. I did an interview with a Store Manager, the District Manager, did a makeup tutorial, and interviewed with the Regional manager, and then I heard nothing. I was told I would receive news from the District Manager within a few days, and I got nothing. Now a month after I started my interview process I see that they reposted the position I applied for. Not professional at all.

Easy interview

Application

I applied in-person. I interviewed at M·A·C Cosmetics

Interview

The hiring process is long. First step is a verbal interview (with a recruiter or retail manager). If you pass that, you go on to a makeup interview, where you have 30 minutes to replicate a "look". If you pass that, onto the upper management (MRO, Trainer, FED). Store Managers are mainly hired from within for MAC stores, but can be hired from the outside for partnered locations (Macys, Dillard's, etc...).
