I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at lululemon (Calgary, AB) in Aug 2011
Interview
I applied online, 2 hours later got an email asking me to come to the group interview the next morning. At the group interview (about 10 people, we all sat on the floor) we were asked a lot of questions about our lifestyles and why we like Lululemon. While we did not go in a circle order, everyone was encouraged to answer every question. The group interview took about an hour. The atmosphere was very relaxed, and we all got to learn a few facts about each other. We were told that they would contact us within 2 days. 2 hours later, they called and asked me to come in the following week for a 1:1 interview. I came in for the interview, and it was done by 2 managers. Still a "relaxed" atmosphere, but a little less relaxed than the group. They asked a lot of questions about my lifestyle, what activities I was currently doing. There didn't really seem to be any set questions, they would more just feed off of the answers I gave them and allowed those to fuel their next questions. This interview only took about 15 minutes. I was told I would be contacted by the end of the day as to whether I got the position or not. They contacted me later that evening, and offered a position; I accepted.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at lululemon (London, England)
Interview
Relatively easy interview, focusing more on your personality and working attitude. The staff there are pretty friendly and give you so much positive energy. The whole process was quite enjoyable
