Behavioral Technical
I applied online and then got a phone call inviting me for an in-person interview a few weeks later. I met with the pharmacy owner, and we talked. She started with general questions like 'tell me about yourself' and asked about my relevant experience for pharmacy work. Then she asked some situational questions, such as how I would handle prioritizing tasks during a busy period. Finally, I had to fill out a form with some basic math and chemistry questions. I heard back about a week after the interview, and they offered me the job.

This interview was pretty chill and straightforward. You'll need to be ready to pitch a product that management picks out to show off your sales skills. Since the Beauty Advisor role includes monthly commission, your sales performance is super important. The job requires strong multitasking, time management, and communication abilities, so make sure to highlight these during your interview.
