I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bath & Body Works (Akron, OH) in May 2013
Interview
I printed off an application from the website, filled it in completely, and turned it in. Within a week, I got a phone call inviting me to come in for a group interview the following week.
When I got to the store, I was told to pick out my favorite product while I waited for the rest of the interviewees arrived. We all went to the back room and began the interview. It was me, three other girls, and the manager. We started off introducing ourselves, then we explained why we picked the product we did. We pretty much went around in a circle and answered questions one at a time (I expected to get the chance to just call our answers out). The questions were pretty basic. Why Bath & Body Works? What are some skills from previous jobs and how will they translate to Bath & Body Works? Then we role-played selling our favorite products to another one of the interviewees. There was then a period where we were allowed to ask questions to the manager. Make sure you ask questions! The other girls asked questions about pay and hours, whereas I asked about why the position was open and why the manager liked working with the company, etc. We were told that if we didn't hear back by a certain date, then we could assume the position was filled.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The hardest part for me was the roleplaying (though I expected it since I read other interview reviews on this website prior to my interview). I'm pretty good at selling, but not great at role-playing it. Just ask a lot of questions when pretending to sell. Don't just say: "How are you, buy this product!" A few of the girls did that!
I applied online. I interviewed at Bath & Body Works (Prosper, TX)
Interview
Easy and straightforward! One in-person interview with the manager after applying online and then I received an offer during the interview. Worked here for 2 years and loved it. Basic questions about previous experience and why this company
I interviewed at Bath & Body Works (North Brunswick, NJ)
Interview
Will ask you to play out sales scenario towards end of shift. Very inviting and welcoming environment from management. You do not need prior sales experience they will teach you.
I interviewed at Bath & Body Works (Forest Hills, NY)
Interview
Very structured and easygoing. The hiring manager was very polite and asked important questions. I didn't hear back until about two weeks later, and I accepted the position. Ended up working there for 4 years and had an awesome experience.
