Interviewed May 2011 in Wake Forest, NC (took a day)
This was a very personal and friendly interview that was less about the pressure of 'getting a job' and more about learning if you're a fit for the company. The environment was extremely comfortable and the interviewer truly wanted to know about me and my experiences.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in San Antonio, TX (took a day)
I applied online and literaly got a call 2hrs later to schedule an interview the next day. On my interview day I met the manager she was very friendly she did have me wait though due to her only employee being late that was about 15-20 minutes. So, once the 1:1 started she went over the questions asked on the online application and other very basic interview questions. The manager seemed very passionate and devoted to the company it really was a breath of fresh air to meet someone as dedicated as she was. She explained the core values and beliefs of the company. I got a call the next day to set up an "in store assesment" but turned it down. Oh MAJOR word of advice don't compare them to bath and body works or in anyway say that you confused one with the other! She was really happy that I was the only person so far to know the difference between the two.

Reason for Declining
The sales position was only part time and was made clear that their would be times i would only be scheduled to work 10hrs a week. So, I knew that wasn't for me. I would have gladly accepted the job if they offered me a full time position.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Ridgeland, MS (took a day)
I arrived to the interview 10 minutes early. Store Manager seemed frazzled and before she barely even greeted me, she stated that she had just fired someone, which I thought was very unprofessional considering I was a potential employee. The store manager took me around the corner of the store to conduct interview on a bench. She explained the company's view, and talked her past in retail. She said that they only give part-time employment for 30 hours a week. Asked me what I could bring to the company. I had to do a product demo for the manager. She said I did good. She said she would call me within 48 hours, It's 3 weeks later, and I haven't received a call.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 4 days)
I had gone online and posted my resume and did the personality test. A week later (if that) I recieved a call from a local shop manager. We set a date and time that worked with both of our schedules which was great. I had already got a great vibe. The interview was so fun (I know) the shop manager was so very sweet and easy to talk to we went "off book" so to speak because of my experience and spoke for about an hour. We then had a demo on the floor. Before it concluded she said that she needed to have me speak with another shop manager. Well I ended up speaking with the DM over the phone, she was equally as nice and fun to talk to, we spent about 40 minutes discussing my past experience and then we ended the call with "I am going to give the shop manager the go ahead" so I knew then that I had been given the okay to be hired.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took 1 week)
There was a sign in the window saying the store was hiring. I went in with a resume and cover letter and got a call back a couple days later. I met the manager in a coffee shop next door - she was the nicest woman, and the interview was very laid back and comfortable. And this was my first job in high school, so I was really nervous. She asked typical questions, what values of the Body Shop do you identify with (sourcing from sustainable farms, sponsoring charities and co-ops, no testing on animals, etc), what sort of Body Shop products do I use and enjoy, where do I see myself going in the company, what I want to do after high school. It wasn't very long, but I got a call back a couple days later with a job offer for part-time.
