I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Lush (Utrecht) in Sep 2016
Interview
I sent my CV in as Open Sollicitatie when they weren't advertising that they were looking for staff, but they happened to be looking at that time so I was invited to a group interview. There we spoke a little bit about ourselves and then did two exercises. For the first we were divided into groups and we were sprayed with some perfume. We then had to interpret the feeling the perfume gave us into a play or a song or something creative. Then in those groups we were asked to do demo's on each other.
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.
