I applied in-person. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty (Newtown Square, PA) in May 2019
Interview
Formal sit down interview. There was one manager present and myself. The interview lasted about fifteen minutes, and she asked me a series of basic questions. It was a very simple interview and incredibly easy.
A group interview with behavioral questions and standard makeup knowledge assessment. Some questions involved what to do with agitated customers or working with people you have conflict with. The interview lasted around an hour
I applied online. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty (Silver Spring, MD)
Interview
The interviewer was warm and friendly and seemed to love my passion for beauty and brand familiarity, but I was sadly passed over for someone with more recent retail experience.
Well, it was a group interview. We were like 10 people at the little room. The manager started to ask questions about our previous experiences and how do we overcome any challenging moment.
