      Beauty Advisor Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Sephora (New York, NY) in Jun 2012

      Interview

      Filled out an application and gave in a resume; was called a few days later for a group interview. This was in the 34th street herald square NYC location. I am an experienced freelance makeup artist and showed up to the interview with well applied makeup displaying my skills. I was interviewed along with three other girls and two hiring managers. The interview lasted no longer than fifteen minutes. We are asked a question and each of us gave our answers one by one. I believe I evoked the fact that I am passionate about what I do and would be a good candidate. I was a bit nervious which is normal, but still gave great answers judging by the impressed look I received by both women after answering a particular question. The interview ended by reviewing our applications for any editing and we were told we would hear back in about a week and a half since the hiring managers were leaving the state for an event or something. Never got a call back for some strange reason and am not bothering with sephora ever again after that wasteful experience; even after the 42nd street location tried setting up an interview with me numerous times. They obviously don't want to hire anyone that is potentially better than them.
