      Cashier Interview

      Dec 4, 2011
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Sephora in Oct 2011

      Interview

      I found out Sephora was looking for seasonal cashier and overnight stock on Craigslist. I emailed my information and answered all the questions that was provided on a Monday. I got a phone call on Tuesday morning to see if I can come in for an interview in the afternoon so of course I said yes! I came into the store asking for the DIC (Director In Charge) for the interview. The staff was lovely and so nice as well as the DIC. This turned out to be a group interview. It was me and two other girls. We went outside that had tables so we can start the interview process. It was a bit nerve wrecking because I haven't gone for a retail interview in so long since I had work at my previous job for a long time until I had to move. We were sat down and I sat in the middle so I can look directly at my DIC. We went in order even though it didn't have to be like that. The first girl would talk and she was really good. Than I was next and then the next girl. It went around like that for about half an hour I think to an hour. After that was done, DIC said she will give us a call the next day to do a second interview and will require a demo with cashiering. So I went home and waited for the call. I finally got a call from the DIC and asked if I can do a second interview the next day and of course I said yes! Now it's Wednesday and realize it was a one on one interview. The DIC asked simple interview questions like she did on Tuesday but more about customer service. After that, we did a demo if I were to ring up a client and how would I help the client out. That was about half an hour I think. It didn't take too long. After the process, the DIC said she will give me a call whether I get the job or not which is nice of her to do. She said she would call me the next day which would be Thursday and that she will be calling my references. So Thursday came by and no phone calls. I did have one of my ex co-worker text me the same day and had told me the DIC from Sephora had called her and my manager about me for references. So I knew somewhat I may get the job but not sure. A whole Thursday went by with no calls. So Friday came by and finally around late evening I got a phone call from the DIC and that was offered a job! I was really happy because I needed a new job so bad since I've moved out of state and need income coming in. Though it's seasonal and it's for a cashier position... it's something! So I had to go to an orientation the next week and after that, a cashier training day! The interview process was really quick. It happened all in one week which is a first for me. Still working until this day and hoping I would get hired on officially but hopefully to a Color Consultant instead of just doing cashier all day, every day. Color is what I do best so I hope they like me enough to keep me on! Gotta work hard in order to get where you want! My advice is every interview process is like a new journey. Whether you get the job or not, it's the fact that they liked you enough to give you an interview than to some 100 other people that had applied. Good luck to everyone!

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      If Sephora was now called your name, "name", a client came into your store and had purchased a perfume, she later than came back the next couple of days or weeks saying that the perfume she had purchased was broke and showed you the broken perfume bottle, what would you do... if this was your store?

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sephora (Lynnfield, MA)

      Interview

      Group interview to start then had a 1 on 1 with the store manager. I was applying for a seasonal position that turned into part time. Because I was interested in being a beauty adviser, I also had to complete a makeup application on an employee.

      I've applied through indeed, the HR does the first screening, they first call you to ensure your interest. They then invite you to the store for group interview. You break into a small group of 5-6 people.
