There were multiple interviews for this position. Questions were not hard, just wanted to see if you would be a good fit and your true personality/ skill set. Interviews were with different levels of managers and not much longer than 45 min.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Sephora (Boston, MA) in Sept 2013
Interview
I went through a series of 4 total interviews - first was a group interview, then individual interviews with different members of management and district management. I was asked a lot of questions about my job experience and where I see myself fitting in with the company. The interview process was rigorous, but not necessarily intimidating. I do not expect sales positions or part-time/seasonal position require as many interviews.

The process overall was quick and easy. Since it was two weeks before Christmas, I got to meet with the Store Director, General Manager and one of the Lead Managers. They asked about my past experiences and it was not at all scary.
