I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty (Hartford, CT) in Apr 2012
Interview
Filled out application online, received phone call from HR woman who was very nice. Met with district manager a week or so later (after a phone interview with her as well) and was offered the job contingent on a drug screen/background check. A few days later they emailed me my offer and benefits package along with employee dress code etc. I took the drug screen and was given a start date and am just waiting to hear back to confirm all is well to start. I don't do drugs or break the law so I am not worried about the results of the drug/background check but am hoping I will get a confirmation.....

Question 1
Why don't I try to move up within the company I work for now? That baffled me and I explained that it is a family run business and only friends are promoted regardless of their ability to perform the required tasks which is why I am searching other employment opportunities as I find it extremely difficult to work for people who are not qualified to be doing what they are doing.
The recruitor contacts you or the hiring manager will. Usually a few day process. Management usual has to take several tests via compter. Also, there is usually drug test. There is usual several interviews.

Question 1
What is your weakness that you have noticed about yourself?
It was pretty standarg. I wasn't expecting the 'technical interview ' but I understand 💯 why they do it. After 6 years of interviewing and conducting interviews and technicals, DO NOT SAY YOU CANT FIND MODEL! If you are looking for a CAREER and not just another job. It is so worth the extra effort!
Literally, this is the BEST company I have ever worked for. FULL BENEFITS! Medical, dental, vision, 401K, tuition reimbursement....and that's just scratching the surface (all employees were taken care of during covid and as soon as the state allowed we welcomed back to their position!). I was able to build a solid clientele in the 1st year and reach $100K in service sales within 3 years! If you are driven and want to work, you can easily make 6 figures here a year as an Elite Stylist.
So, if I COULD find model; 2 months after I had decided to completely relocate and get a fresh start, with 0 clients and living 1hr 15min from the Ulta that recruited me....YOU CAN TOO.

Question 1
They just asked questions about me, my prior careers, what my 5yr plan is, and how I am with teams, stylists, customers, client's, sales, etc.
Great from start to finish, great team and very friendly. Great company to work for and they seem to have great team work and moral. Great for new stylist to build there business on sales floor.
