I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Lush in Oct 2014
Interview
Gave my CV and Application Letter in store and it took two or three days for me to get an email back requesting I go to a group interview a few days after that with a name tag I made for myself
The group interview had about 30 people, all the staff were welcoming and it was really fun! Not like an interview at all. They ask you to say a few things about yourself: hobbies, studies etc.

Question 1
They asked us to mould some FUN into anything we wanted and then to link it back to Lush. It was such a broad question with such little time that it threw us all off a bit.
It was a group interview, very unconventional, hands-on, and activity-based, teamwork. They expect you to know their company values and ethics, which will carry over to your role. It was very relaxed and they made me feel very comfortable and heard.
I applied online. I interviewed at Lush (London, England)
Interview
Was offered an interview and it was fairly casual - in the cafe, and it only lasted around 45 minutes. Pretty much immediately after I was offered a trial shift, and I went and it was kind of horrible because we didn’t know anything about the products, and it also wasn’t very busy so it felt like we were competing with each other to get a customer’s attention, only to not even be able to give them proper information and just have to guess. It was a bit embarrassing and we didn’t get paid either, but we got a free shower gel. I found out I got the job on the way home from the trial shift.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Lush (Cardiff, Wales)
Interview
Onboarding session and then a practice shift which involved you sitting customers down and demonstrating products on them. Lasts around an hour, and it’s done in groups of trial shifts.
