I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Bath & Body Works in Sept 2011
Interview
I walked in one day to hand in a paper app that I filled out the weekend before, it was Sunday. I handed it to the associate behind the counter. She asked me my name and set me up for an interview on Tuesday. I was so excited and agreed. I arrived at the interview on Tuesday 10 minutes early and waited around the store for the manager. I was interviewed, it was pretty easy I thought everything was going great. She told me I would get a call back within the weeek. I didn't. So I continued to call back every friday for the next month. Eveytime I called I got the same answer "we are still trying to get in contact with your references".
I interviewed at Bath & Body Works (North Brunswick, NJ)
Interview
Will ask you to play out sales scenario towards end of shift. Very inviting and welcoming environment from management. You do not need prior sales experience they will teach you.
I interviewed at Bath & Body Works (Forest Hills, NY)
Interview
Very structured and easygoing. The hiring manager was very polite and asked important questions. I didn't hear back until about two weeks later, and I accepted the position. Ended up working there for 4 years and had an awesome experience.
basic interview on your commong skills in the workplace asking questions like what was a difficult experience you had and how did you deal with it, what are your strong and weak points, etc.
