I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Body Shop (Toronto, ON) in Sept 2014
Interview
I was asked questions about my previous experience in retail, what good customer service means to me, et cetera. It was basically a "sit down and chat" type of experience, to make sure that I had good interpersonal skills. She also asked me if I was comfortable wearing makeup (the job requires five pieces of visible makeup). After that went well, she had me in for a floor interview, in which I explain the promotion to customers and they see how comfortable I am on the floor talking to customers. Once that was done, she immediately told me I had the job.
Note that the interview process has changed, but if you message me I can tell you what it is like now.

Why do you want to work here
Easy interview. Felt more like a conversation than being grilled on my resume. The manager asked me about my interests in the industry and my thoughts on skincare. I was asked behavioral questions as well.

Friendly, chatty, bubbly. Many questions about customer service, products, sales, teamwork, information about the company, previous jobs, and many things like that. The next day I think I received an email from them with a job offer.
