The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at lululemon (Sherman Oaks, CA) in Dec 2011
Interview
Interviewed with 3 other applicants and was interviewed by 2 employees for a new store opening. The interview was quite relaxing and casual/ comfortable. I was nervous but regardless I felt as though I answered all questions well. I was really confident about the entire interview and they said they would let us know by the following month. Unfortunately, I received a declination email prior to the date in which they said they'd inform us. I wish I knew what I did wrong as I really want to work for the company. I feel as though distance, as in living distance from the store, may play a role. I live about 30 minutes from the nearest Lululemon and although I'm a punctual person and am always early and never late, I'm not quite sure it matters. I'm a great sales person with a lot of experience and management history, so not being hired for Educator or Key Leader is quite confusing. Hopefully I'll be able to do another interview and eventually get offered a position. This was my 2nd interview, the first was in Calabasas and wasn't as comfortable or inviting as this one was. I was also given the opportunity to interview with Beverly Hills but unfortunately due to a doctors appointment that could not be rescheduled, I couldn't make it and they never replied to my email saying whether or not I'd be given another opportunity to interview.
Lots of questions about what you have to offer as a person, as well as situational questions.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
If you could have dinner with anyone dead or alive, who would it be and why?
Very fluid and actually fun. Group then 1:1. They made expectations very clear and outlined opportunities for growth. Felt like it was easy to gain rapport with the people interviewing.

Interview
Casual interview style. Forthcoming. Open and honest. A lot of behavioural questions and scenarios were asked. They are big on personal development and are keen on learning what you’d like to learn from the role be it in the long run or a short stint.

Question 1
Describe a time you went above and beyond in your role.
We met in the lounge area of the Equinox gym, which was near the store. It was just me and another girl being interviewed along with 2 Lululemon workers. They were dressed in gym attire so it was a very informal interview process. I also dressed in gym attire from researching the interview process. They asked us questions and at the end they told about the 2nd round interview details, which included a 6:30 am workout with the team the next day. I showed up the next day while the other girl did not. I didn’t get an offer for the job despite being qualified and putting more effort than the other girl in my opinion, but I feel like it was all due to my limited availability while the other girl was free all summer she said. Availability plays a major part for them, which makes sense.
