I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bath & Body Works (Toronto, ON) in Sept 2013
Interview
Applied in person and was contacted that day for an interview the next week.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
First of all, it was a group interview; myself and 4 others. Make sure to look around the store before the interview so you have some idea of what products they sell, because you will be asked about lotions! The questions weren't that difficult as long as you were prepared. The manager Shawn was very laid back and helpful. He introduced himself and then asked us to introduce ourselves.
After introductions, we had to "demo" our favorite lotion from the store. It requires you to rub lotion on the other interviewee's, so make sure you're comfortable with that because if you aren't then you may not be good for this job. After you demo the lotion to the interviewee beside you, then you must demo it to the whole group! It was kind of difficult because the manager was pretending to talk so that you got distracted.
The last question that was asked was: "If I hired you, what is one thing you would be bringing to my team"? Do NOT say that you are a people person or you are a happy person, etc. Make sure you say a benefit of being hired, not a quality that you have. Almost everyone in the interview said "I"m really nice and outgoing" and he didn't seem to like those answers.
The manager told us that we would hear back in less than a week.
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.
