I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at bareMinerals (Roseville, MN) in Jun 2012
Interview
I walked into Bare Minerals one night, was told I should apply, came back the next morning wearing all black and had my 'face' on, the manager and assistant manager both interviewed me right then and there, scheduled my second interview with the corporate sales rep at a different mall in town for the same day, went out there and had my interview, they called me that same night and offered me the position. I was hired and interviewed 3 times within 24 hours of walking in the store for some shopping.
It may have been so easy for me because I already use the products and have sales experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you think we should hire you over another person applying at the same time as you?
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 :)
