The Healthy Living Store interview questions

Applied almost four months ago – the process required a lot of information to be written down, including a mandatory cover letter explaining why you want to work for the company. I spent a great deal of time on this application as I loved the brand and was a loyal customer. I can log in to their ATS and see that my application is still open, but despite messaging three people (over three times each) to ask for an update on the role (whether it has been cancelled, filled, or if I was simply unsuccessful), I have received no response. I am not arrogant enough to think I deserve an interview, but given that I am also a customer (something I mentioned in my cover letter), I would expect a business to show some common courtesy and at least reject candidates — ideally with feedback, but at this point I would just accept a rejection. I have since cancelled both my wife’s and my own subscriptions for our supplements through them. I would rather give my money to a company that treats its customers better.

My interview process was quite disappointing, especially given the company’s positioning as a wellness brand. The first stage was with someone who didn’t seem to have a full understanding of the role or team structure. I was asked over 20 questions and the call lasted 45 minutes but was meant to be just an intro call. It felt disconnected from the actual job. I then completed a fairly simple task, followed by a final interview which was anything but friendly! When I asked about the company culture or work environment, I received vague responses like “we care about the company and work hard.” Other questions I asked about the role, team, or ways of working were met with little enthusiasm or depth, which felt dismissive. It gave the impression they were uninterested in me but rather wanted to hear that I am ready to work hard no matter what it takes. The biggest red flag was when on the same call towards the end I was told that this role would also involve a completely separate skill set from a different job function. ( Essentially combining two roles into one). This raised concerns about ethics clarity and focus in the hiring process. All in all, the experience suggested a lack of respect for candidates, unclear role definition, and internal disorganization. The process really didn’t reflect any care, curiosity, or well-being either in how they treated candidates or how they communicated their culture.
