I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Sephora (New York, NY) in Aug 2016
Interview
My interview process was very smooth. I was asked typical interview. I was asked to perform a makeup makeover on the spot and I wasn't expecting that so I didn't have any of my own makeup brushes. I was supplied makeup brushes from the senior artist and another cast member was used as a model. I was offered the job in about 2 days. They made an offer of 17.50 p/h and I then asked for $19.00, they settled with 18.00 p/h. I was hired as full time however that does not mean you will work 40 hours a week. Full time at sephora is up to 32 hours a week. I wish that was explained to me during the interview because it would have affected my decision. I ended up working between 20 to 32 hours a week.
Friendly, lots of question and hypothetical situations in regards to customer service. Makeup portfolio was appreciated. Focus is on product knowledge and friendliness. Asked about retail background, what trainings I would be interested in. Also how hard I am willing to work to move up into a management position. Also my timeline I expect to management.
