      Skin Care Consultant Interview

      Jul 25, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      New York, NY
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Sephora (New York, NY) in Jul 2016

      Interview

      I applied online and was contacted the next day for a phone screening. I successfully and confidently answered those questions ("Why do you want to work for Sephora?") and a one on one was scheduled for two days later. I arrived early and professionally dressed (I wore a black fitted blazer, black slacks and a coral lace shirt for a pop of color). The interview was very easy; we chatted comfortably and I answered honestly and from the heart which I feel always shines through. Always be authentic. They were standard interview questions and I was not asked the history of the company, it's mission or purpose, how it contributes to various causes or how many stores or counties that it operates in or who it's CEO is. Sephora has over 1,700 stores in now 31 countries and it's CEO of American Sephora's is Calvin McDonald. He's a very involved CEO and takes the time to really lead by example. When I become a manager, I will be asking those questions as I feel it shows me who took the time to truly know the company's history that they are applying for. Additionally, have some questions ready for them as they will ask you. I inquired about training, working in other "worlds," how to advance, and transferring between stores if we moved. The day after my interview, I received a call asking me to come in and complete the final stage of the process-the demo and selling pitch. I completed the final interview with the Store Director. She asked similar questions that the Assistant Manager asked me. For my skin demo, an employee acted as if she needed a new skincare item. It's important to welcome them to the store, ask what brought them in, introduce yourself. Ask what type of skin they have and what their concerns are. I showed some various products and made sure to include a daytime lotion with SPF. I also showed her a primer with SPF in it and gave her a sample on her hand to feel. It's important to close the sale by asking if she's ready to check out or if you can get her a basket to put the product in.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Sephora (Toronto, ON)

      Interview

      Talk was very plesant and relaxed. I felt like talking to a friend, not to manager. It was better than I've expected. I didn't prepare, I just really wanted the job. I was myself.
