      Cosmetics Department Interview

      Nov 11, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Bath, England
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Marks & Spencer (Bath, England)

      Interview

      Even though I had already proven that I could work for the company, and even though I'd already proven that I could sell stuff, I was still forced. I to through a pointless roleplay demonstrating that I could upsell crap that the customer didn't really want. I was told that I'd trained in makeup application by industry professionals (I wasn't), that I'd learn makeup techniques to make anyone look good (also nope) and that I should know about current makeup trends (I very much did, they did not, and my knowledge and expertise was totally wasted)

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What are some current makeup trends?
