Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me why you would like to work for ULTA? How would you describe your leadership style? What are your personal strengths and weakness? What did you learn from your previous district manager?
Online & ghosted there’s a very quick start in the beginning but then after the first interview, I was completely ghosted and I emailed twice with zero communication back, the interviewer was very kind and polite, but the frustration was all through the lack of communication
The Interview with district manager and then one other dm , one was in person and rte other virtually over the phone on teams. Each interview was about an hour
