The interview was super chill. I chatted with a few managers who wanted to know about my background and if I was into the job. We grabbed lunch at the market for about half an hour.

Had a quick intro from the company. Food was provided all day. It was a chill session with lots of young people. Sadly, a lot was promised back then and not really kept... we did a short makeup session together on lips & eyeliner. We had to bring our own brushes, but products were provided. After that, there were one-on-one chats.

I applied in person in July and they were looking for sales people and needed at least 1yr of retail exp. Then I got a phone call inviting me to open interviews on Aug 17. I waited in line for 4hrs with my portfolio and resume. I had interviews with one manager and got offered the second interview for Sept 3rd which was the makeup demo. It was a group of 15 and we had to switch models and had 30min to do a full day look. I got offered the job the same day and signed the first docs. I got my employee number Sept 25 and was then able to begin working.
