group interview style with short questions asked to everyone for short answer, interactive and fun, limited time and has to think fast. people very lovely in the store, store manager and regional manager very experienced in the role

Was invited to a group interview at their Sydney store early morning on a Fridayat 9am before the store opened at 9:30. Got there early and around 40-50 girls were lining up outside, and everyone had gone to extreme effort in their appearance, following the requirements given for the interview (red lipstick, winged eyeliner, pristine and professional appearance). Just after 9am they took girls in groups of 4 over to be asked questions for at least 5mins, and then took them into the store to practice selling for at least another five minutes. As they were only taking 4 girls at a time and there were around 50 waiting it was an incredibly long process, and by the time 9:30 rolled around and the store opened, the girls sitting down being asked questions were told they couldn't do the sales part of their interview because the store was opened so they were finished, while many of the other girls still waiting in line were asked to just go home. Very unprofessional and unfair to the girls that had traveled all that way and prepared and gotten ready. I would suggest that they only invite half the amount of girls in that time as they were aware of how many were coming because we had to RSVP, and also aware that there was only half an hour before the store opened, so their timing expectations should have been more realistic and they should have been more respectful of people's time.
