Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
In-person interview with manager. It was fairly low-key. She was friendly but not overly so. She asked the standard questions: why do you want to work here? etc. All in all the interview lasted about 15-20min. I would say that you should wear your best make-up as you are applying to a makeup/beauty store. I wore a light amount as I did not want to come off as a "try-hard" and she commented that normally the employees prefer to wear more, so I'm passing on the tip!

Applied on their website. Called me in for an interview right away. Pretty straight forward questions. No trick questions. Mostly about skills and how I was interested in the beauty industry. Called back about a week later for an offer. Accepted.
I applied online. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty (Orlando, FL) in Dec 2022
Interview
It was easy going and they were really nice. I found the interviewer to be really personable and someone who I would enjoy working with. Answers were not too difficult to answer, pretty average questions.
the interview was good, the manager was nice and the workers too ! ask me basic questions but I did not get the job due to conflicting schedules with school, but definitely seems worth it!
