I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty

Interview

This process was too drawn out. All the interviews were easy, but a phone screen plus 4 interviews was too much. Then, I was asked for 2 references which I provided right away. I assumed I was a final candidate because I was asked for references after all of the interviews. My references were never contacted!! I was told theyd be contacted within the week, but they weren’t. Then I got a generic rejection. This process was frustrating all-around.

I interviewed at Ulta Beauty (Greensboro, NC)

Interview

The interview was okay. The manager didn’t seem prepared. She forgot that I was scheduled for an interview. Other than that the atmosphere was friendly but the follow up scheduling wasn’t very clear.
