I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Sephora (New York, NY) in May 2015
Interview
I applied online and I got a call two days later saying that my interview was the following day, and it was a group interview. Please show up prepared you want to make an initial good impression! After the group interview I received a call later on that day scheduling my next one on one interview with the store manager which was really easy she asked me why did i choose makeup and why sephora and also if i knew any background on sephora and thankfully I did! She was really impressed because not many go as far as trying to learn the background of sephora so there's a tip! Hope that helps!
Pretty standard interview. A lot of the questions emphasized selling to the customer so focus on that. If they ask what your favourite product is, don’t just say what it is. Try to sell it to the interviewer.

10 minute call over the phone, asked maybe around 10 ish common interview questions. Relatively easiy interview process and then they ask about availability, right to work, etc. at the end.
During the group interview process, all participants were asked the same set of structured questions. These included questions about industry knowledge, customer service skills, and several realistic scenario-based problem-solving situations.
