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.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 5 days)
The HR was not at all accommodating and the interviewer herself was late. She never looked at the interviewee and just jotted down facts. By the time I was interviewed, I was just then informed that the position I applied for was already taken--on the day I was given a notification I've been invited for an interview. Very disorganized, was not sorry I didn't get it.

Interviewed Jul 2010 (took 2 weeks)
I went online and filled out an application. HR send me a link to do another application and the online assessment. After that, I had a face to face with the shop manager. After the interview, we went into the shop and did a trial session. A week later, I had another interview with another Shop Manager but it was over the phone. The Shop managers were very pleasant but the challenging part is pleasing the District manager. That's the final phone interview. One tip: don't stress about your awesome customer service. They don't care about that. They just want to know that you can sell their product. Show that you are an agressive seller and let that attitude shine through. That's what will get you the job.

Interviewed May 2008 in New York, NY (took a day)
During summer vacation from college, I needed a job. I went all over 34th st and handed my resume to the different stores in the area. I walked into the Body Shop in the Manhattan Mall and gave my resume. A day later, I received a phone call from store manager asking me to complete a personality test online and based on my scores I will get a call back, After completing the test, I received a phone call about coming in for an interview. Did well then I got the job. Very easy process.
