I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at bareMinerals in Dec 2008
Interview
After submitting an application, I was called to schedule an interview. This was done within the following days and conducted by the manager of the store. After the interview I was told they liked me and saw potential, but needed to see my sales skills. We scheduled a time to come back for a sale's pitch presentation as me acting like the sales person while the manager was the client and I tried to sell her an eyeshadow kit. I got the job. I was extremely nervous, much more so than if it had been an actual customer and not the manager of course. I tried to just pretend like I already worked there and I honestly did know a lot about the product so I knew what I was talking about.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
How do you feel about spending time with fellow employees outside of work-? (like making friends and going out for drinks).
It wasn't so much a question but the whole fake sales pitch was pretty difficult if you are not used to that. It was a fantastic learning experience though!
It was very fast and unprofessional. The interviewer was very uninterested in what I had to say. They kept looking at their phone and checking the time. It was an extremely uncomfortable environment.
Very awkward, the interviewers seemed very stuck up and picky. They almost came of as judgmental and a little cold. It felt like they thought highly of themselves. Just seemed like a very stiff work environment and not a very passionate for makeup store.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at bareMinerals (Cincinnati, OH) in Jun 2015
Interview
The first interview was with managment. She seemed like a really sweet person. The second was with a assistant manager....She was nice but I could tell before we sat down she didnt like me....The "manager" told me that my second interview I was going to do someones makeup and it would be more of a scenario but She asked me only a couple questions then said she would call and she never did. I wasn't too worried about it because I already took another job prior to applying for this one....
Her questions all required experience of putting on makeup which she knew going in from my resume that I had none :)
