Sephora Sales Associate interview questions

The interview was super easy and the girl was nice. However, at the end of it all she picks up my resume, looks at it for one second and tells me that she loves my personality and she loved all my answers to her questions but, because I didn't have 1 year of working at the same retail company (I had worked for a couple other retail companies each for less than a year due to moving a couple times and worked for one just under a year) her district manager wouldn't like that. Even though I had well over 1 year of retail experience combined and worked as a general manager for a new business that did sales (difficult job) for a couple years. I just don't get why they would call me in to interview and waste my time and theirs. If they had already looked at my resume and saw that I didn't have what they wanted, why waste all our time?

The interview process can span between a month or two (in my case ) and also you do not know what to expect every round. Therefore, it is best to do more research on the role before the interviews.
