I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Body Shop (Ottawa, ON) in May 2018
Interview
Applied online and got a call two days later. I was asked a few basic interview questions (i.e. why the body shop, when are you available, etc.) and asked to come in for a formal interview. Did so the next day. Showed up about 5 minutes early and still had to wait. Total interview was MAYBE 10 minutes long. Questions were all about past work experience and one about availability. The interviewer was nice and made me feel comfortable. We had good chemistry but I got the impression that sales experience was more preferred than they let on. I got a response two days later telling me they had not chosen me for the next step of the process and that they had many applicants and couldn't give personal feedback.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Tell me about any experiences you've had with a co-worker where you didn't get along. How did you work around it?
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.
