      Holiday Sales Associate Interview

      Oct 8, 2010
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bath & Body Works in Oct 2010

      Interview

      I downloaded the application online, then took it into the store, where they asked me why I was interested in working there and then signed me up for a group interview for 2 days later. There were 5 of us in the interview - and it took an hour. But the problem was that we didn't speak much, most of that time was taken with the manager explaining the work in the store to us. So the most important aspect of the interview seemed to be first impressions and how you answered the one question they asked (there were actually two, but only 1 of the 5 got to answer the 2nd question before the interviewer got off track), and then we had a role playing situation where you were the salesperson and showed how you would give great customer service. They told us to show our interest by having one of our references call them by the next day. So be prepared to ask a reference to call for you, and make sure they will say good things about you (I think I was offered the job based off what my reference said).

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bath & Body Works in Sep 2018

      Interview

      I got there a little early & walked around the store for a few minutes. Then the manager came out & got together a few other people also applying for the job. We went out to the food court & talked for a minute. Then the manager started asking questions & we took turns answering the questions asked. Overall the interview was not hard. It being a group interview made it easier & more relaxed.

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Bath & Body Works (Knoxville, TN) in Oct 2015

      Interview

      I was brought in for a group interview consisting of the store sales manager (SSM) and nine other applicants. She asked us questions, round-robin style, for about half an hour, then took us on a tour of the store, where we picked out our favorite scents and provided her with a product demonstration. I found out later that 64 people were hired out of an applicant pool of about 350.
