After I sent in my application, I had a telephone interview a few days later, which resulted in scheduling an interview at the store. I had two in-person interviews that day, then had to wait to find out if I would be moving on to the next steps with the cosmetics brand itself. I had to take a personality assessment, then was contacted by the account exec for a telephone interview.

The questions focused on my past retail experience, which was the same position I was applying for at Von Maur but I was employed at a different department store. They asked a lot about my previous employer and it was hard not to bad-mouth them. They seemed a bit intrusive as to asking why I had left my previous job. Other than that, I met the cosmetics manager and the store manager. Both complimented me and seemed to click with me very well.
