I got an email about setting up a telephone interview. The interviewer called me at the wrong time. I was busy taking my kids to school. I was nice and said it wasn't a good time. I asked if she could call back in 30 minutes. She said okay and would call back. She never did and ignored my 3 messages. It was really rude and a terrible way to be treated, especially since I was a loyal customer for years. No more business with them!

Behavioral Technical Presentation
So I had an interview with management, she was really nice. Then the second interview was with an assistant manager. She was nice too, but I could tell she didn't like me. The manager told me for the second interview I'd be doing someone's makeup, like a scenario, but she only asked a couple questions and then said she'd call, which she never did. It's okay though, I already got another job before this. She asked me questions that required makeup experience, which she knew I didn't have from my resume.

Behavioral Presentation
I applied and then got a call to set up an interview. The store manager interviewed me a few days later. She said she liked me and saw potential, but wanted to see my sales skills. So, we set up a time for me to come back and do a sales pitch. I had to pretend to be a salesperson and sell her an eyeshadow kit. I got the job. I was really nervous, way more than if it had been a real customer. I just acted like I already worked there and knew a lot about the product.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- How do you feel about socializing with coworkers outside of work, like going out for drinks?
- It wasn't really a question, but the whole fake sales pitch exercise was pretty tough if you're not used to it. It was a great learning experience though!
