I applied online. I interviewed at Sephora (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2014
Interview
I applied online took a couple weeks to get a call back for the group interview. The group interview feels more like you applied for jcpenney's rather than Sephora they have you work in a group in the lower level of Jcpenney then use these blocks to build one of the images they show you one person goes up at a time, and has 30 seconds to look at the image. After looking at the image the person must direct their group what to build but can not help with the blocks only speaks. After this we had to go to the Jcpenney floor and try to sell items to the manager of sephora, manager of jc penney, and a worker from sephora but none of these items were makeup only jc penney apparel. There is no emphasis on makeup when interviewing for a sephora inside jcpenney.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Only question that was asked "What is your favorite makeup product?"
Pretty standard interview. A lot of the questions emphasized selling to the customer so focus on that. If they ask what your favourite product is, don’t just say what it is. Try to sell it to the interviewer.

During the group interview process, all participants were asked the same set of structured questions. These included questions about industry knowledge, customer service skills, and several realistic scenario-based problem-solving situations.
