I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Sephora in Nov 2014
Interview
Filled out an application online and received a call back 3 weeks later. They left a message in my voice-mail to go into a group interview a few days later. I showed up ten minutes early and wore all black because I knew that's what the uniform is. I let one of the workers know that i was there for the group interview and she directed me to a spot in the store where the interviewees were to gather. Once the time hit the clock that we were supposed to be there, the director in charge & a supervisor came out and lead us to a location outside the store where we would all be able to sit together. They introduced themselves, talked a little about the company & what we would be doing if hired, and then dove right into question's. First thing they asked was for us to give a brief intro about ourselves & tell them a little about our previous job & what we did there. Second question, why do you want to work for sephora? Third, tell me about a supervisor you really liked and one you didn't like & why? Last question was the scenario where they tell you that you need to pretend a customer drops a bottle of perfume after they purchased it and they come back wanting to replace it. What would you do? That was basically the end of the interview & i got called back two days later letting me know that they want to continue to the next phase of the interview with a "demo." So i went in and was asked to demonstrate at the register how i would ring up a customer which is super easy. Just be yourself!

The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Sephora (Boca Raton, FL) in Oct 2019
Interview
I was first contacted over the phone for a quick phone screen. During the phone call, I was asked about my previous job experiences, responsibilities, and why I left my previous job. I was also asked about why I chose Sephora. They then asked me to come in for an interview. When I came in for the in-person interview, I sat and spoke with the manager who asked me typical interview questions.

Interview
Easy interview process, though I’d recommend going in to speak with the manager first (which is generally good practice for all retail jobs). You’ll have a phone interview & and in-person interview & then you’ll find out if you’ve gotten the job. Good luck!
