Behavioral Case

I went through 3 phone interviews: one with the District Sales Manager, one with the HR Director, and one with the Regional Sales Manager. Then I had a one-on-one in-person interview at a hotel lobby with the District Sales Manager. The interviews with HR and the Regional Sales Manager were pretty business-like and professional, just like I figured they'd be.

Behavioral Technical

I applied through L'Oreal's website. The HR manager reached out a few weeks later to schedule a phone interview. A few weeks after that, the HR manager contacted me again to set up an in-person interview with the RVP. It seemed to go well, and at the end, they said I'd move to the next step. The next day, I got an email with an assessment. The start of the assessment had easy questions about scenarios and personality. The last three parts involved basic algebra, word problems, and analogies.

Behavioral

I sent in my application online, and about a month later, they reached out for an interview. It was a pretty relaxed conversation and overall a good experience. The Manager mentioned it was a great way to start, and that there was definitely potential for advancement, especially since I expressed my interest in moving into outside sales, though that never panned out.
