Interview was pretty straightforward, hiring manager was easy to talk to. Lack of communication on HR's part was frustrating, but otherwise the interview went as expected. Knowledge of the brand is appreciated.

InterviewI applied online. I interviewed at Urban Decay Cosmetics (United Kingdom) in Jun 2019
found the job on indeed applied through l'oreal website. after the online assessment I got a call back a week later to arrange an interview/audition for the following week. I arrived and met the lady at the counter super friendly. she gave me a run down of the products and I had to traffic shop and try and sell products. I went around the store to find customers as it was quiet and managed to find 2 and made sales. when you find the customers you ask them would you like to try one of our express makeup services e.g brows, complexion, smokey eye. you do have to do makeup on customers even though its beauty advisor role. after that lasted for 45 mins or so, she took me for a 1-1 interview. brief questions as outlined below. not too difficult. you need to have a passion for makeup and the company! was told she would get back in 2/3 days but didnt so I followed up and got a call back a day later to arrange a store approval interview. got the offer and jobs a good'un!

I met with two women at Starbucks for my interview and they were completely unprofessional. They were on their laptops the whole time and barely asked me 5 questions. I feel like they already picked a candidate and were just wasting my time.
