I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty
Interview
I applied as a beauty consultant as I'm a freelance MUA but have minimal "formal" training and wasn't expecting to be thrown on a counter anywhere right off the bat. The Assistant manager called me back pretty quickly and I was in for an interview the next day. She was very easy to talk to, as were the rest of the staff, and offered me a position on the spot. Having a lot of retail experience already and also a decent amount as a makeup artist, I was asking two dollars above the starting pat rate, which she was totally willing to compromise on which was great. I can't say much about the position yet, but the interview process was very casual and comfortable, I ended up accepting this position over one at the Sephora color bar based on the fact that the environment was much more comfortable and less high pressure/pushy about sales, which I appreciate when it's an un commissioned position.

The interview process was very relaxed for me, the store manager seemed energetic and caring, on top of running a smooth operation. My interview was based both off of a list of questions the company gives, as well as chatting for her to get a sense of who I am, at least that's how I interpreted it.
