I found the job posting online on their website and applied. A few days after applying, I got an email asking me to set up a time for a brief 20-minute phone call. During the call, I was asked some questions about the company and we talked about my availability.

I got to the interview a bit early and had to wait a few minutes in a small cubby behind the shop. The manager asked typical interview questions, like asking about teamwork and for examples. It was a pretty basic interview overall, with the manager jotting down my answers. The interview space felt a bit cramped. They also asked me the classic 'sell me this serum' question, which I wasn't quite ready for.

  • What do you appreciate about teamwork?
  • Can you provide an example of a time when...?
  • Could you try to sell me this serum?
