      Sales Trainer Interview

      28 Mar 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at bareMinerals in Dec 2011

      Interview

      I submitted my resume online and was contacted by an BE recruiter a few days later. The BE recruiter did a pre-interview screening about my qualifications for the job before setting up my first interview. The next interview was a 2 part phone interview with the regional manager. The first part was again going over my resume, skills, experience, how my numbers were at my previous job, did my previous cosmetic territory trend higher than the brand average, what exaclty were my percentage of increases (they want numbers). In the second part basic cosmetic sales questions were asked- What was my plan to drive the business? How am I going to make BE the go to brand for cast members at Sephora and Ulta etc. After that was done I was asked to come in for an in person interview to do a makeup demo (you need to bring the model), a training demo and a skills test to make sure I was competent in Microsoft Office (especially excel and reading spreadsheets) I went in for the interview in person, did fine on the makeup and skills test, but not so great on my training presentation. The instructions I was sent to prepare for the training part of the interview said to do 20 minute training on a skincare line, so I prepped to train for a 20 minute training session for a full line. When I started my training demo I was told it only had to be for a few products and completely informal as if I was doing one on one training. This threw me off because I had prepped and had presentation materials for a full line training. (I currently don't work for a skincare line so all these materials I had made myself) The regional manager that interviewed me was really nice and thanked me for coming. So I was expecting to hear something from HR within a few weeks as I was told they would be contacting me. As of today a few months later I have heard NOTHING. Not a phone call, email, voicemail, nothing. I can understand if someone was more qualified and I didn't get the job, but to never respond back to a candidate is incredibly unprofessional. BE your HR sucks and I am not the only one who thinks this just google "bare essentuals corp HR yelp"
