I applied in-person. I interviewed at The Body Shop (Peterborough, ON) in Feb 2016
Interview
The interview process was intense for an entry level position. Three separate interviews within a week as well as an online application. One in person to start, a same day telephone interview with as District manager and a third a few days later to test my abilities to sell product in the way that they wished.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Background knowledge, customer service experience, the usual sorts but the third interview was slightly much I was given 5 minutes to go around the store then was asked to sell a product to the management whom I was being interviewed by. There was no time for product knowledge or any sort of real preparation.
I was asked a few basic questions by phone and then asked to come in for a laid back face-to-face interview. I was then asked to come back for the shop floor trial with the other interview candidates where we had to perform a series of tasks. It took them 3 weeks to send me a rejection email which I thought was very poor.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Body Shop (Canterbury, England) in Jul 2025
Interview
A 45 minute trial shift where they got you to interact with customers as if you worked there and give a hand and arm massage to a customer to try and sell an item. Very straight forward and they were looking to see if you follow what they ask.
the process was friendly, the first rounnd was phone interview followed by in person interview. the roles and responsibilities were east to follow . over all it was an easy and smooth eexperience.
