The interview experience was really professional and pretty straightforward. First, a recruiter got in touch and set up a one-on-one with the store manager. We talked about my retail background, my knowledge of cosmetic products, and how I give great customer service. They also threw in some situation questions about dealing with busy times and hitting sales goals. It felt welcoming, but the main focus was on customer interaction and trying to upsell. It was structured and felt supportive, letting me show off my sales skills and my love for cosmetics.

I applied for the shop and had an initial phone call where they asked basic questions about my experience in the beauty industry. Everything went well, and I'm now moving on to a second interview, which is a group session. I'm not totally sure what they'll be looking for during the group activities, though.
