Interviewed Jun 2011 (took a day)

I filled out the online application, and then about a week later I visited in store to follow up for "step two" of the process. I dressed in a nice skirt and blouse, with my hair and makeup done. After an assistant manager had me fill out step two on a store computer (IQ test; asked questions about how to make change, "is the customer always right" type questions), I interviewed with the store manager. The store manager talked to me for about 5 minutes about the hours he was looking for and the position (cashier/beauty advisor). The only things he asked me about were what college I was attending, what I was studying, my previous experience (none), and what my preferences were in regards to hours. I was hired on the spot and sent for drug testing the same day. Don't go in for step two if you know you could fail the drug test, since if you're hired same day they will try to send you for the test asap and it'd probably look rather shady if you decline. Overall it was much easier than I anticipated.

First, you go in and take a basic math and personality test. If you pass satisfactorily you are called for a basic personality interview with questions about customer service.

Interviewed Feb 2009 (took 3 weeks)

Internview was very simple. After filling out application ask to speak to the store Manager, but go during the day as most store managers don't work evenings.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Green Bay, WI (took a day)

This hiring process was the easiest and shortest I've ever experienced. There was a single, one-on-one interview with the store manager where he asked me about my previous employment and my future goals. It was very straightforward, with none of those "Describe a time where you had to...." questions. I think I spent more time on their online application than I did at the interview! Immediately afterward, I had to do a short skills assessment on a computer. After this interview, there was a drug test and they called my references and did a background check. I was hired two days later.

Interviewed Sep 2008 in Memphis, TN (took a day)

I applied online for the Beauty Advisor position because earlier that day I had noticed a sign posted on the door of the establishment advertising the opening. The very next morning I was called in for an interview (less than 24 hours) and I accepted for later that afternoon. I went in for the interview, the store manager took me into the office sat me down and asked several basic questions about my previous work experience and why I wanted to work for the company. After the interview was over she thanked me and told me she'd be in touch. The day after she called me and told me I had the job, on the condition that I passed my drug test.
