The first part of the interview was what I expected any interview to be like, a wonderful woman asked me some questions, we had a laugh, she scored some of my answers. It went well. Once you have passed the first section of the interview you are invited to the second part, which is an audition. Where you spend an hour doing the job, which was an eye opener, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, it really gives an incite on whether you can do the job and whether you will enjoy it. The final aspect of the interview is the approval from the store which you will be working at, which is just a simple interview.

I applied online. I interviewed at Benefit Cosmetics (Newcastle upon Tyne, England) in Jul 2024
Interview
They have taken in to account that people may not be able to attend in person interviews and so start with a video interview and then followed by a zoom interview with one of the team.
It is a relatively easy interview process to work through and the amount of communication from the team is unmatched.
