I submitted an application online and was invited to an interview almost immediately after. The interview was casual, with a very friendly Assistant Manager and 5 other applicants. I had been to another group interview about 2 years ago so I knew what to expect. The others seemed nice but didn't quite fit the bill. No one was wearing lululemon, and they weren't super passionate about the clothes or yoga. They all seemed like nice people, but perhaps not the peppy, happy-go-lucky girl lululemon seeks. I got a really good vibe from the interview and felt pretty good about it.
I was invited to a one-on-one via email the following day. The one-on-one was a little more awkward I guess. We met at a coffeeshop and she asked some really personal questions about my goals, philosophy about life, etc. It was actually kind of enlightening...but I didn't feel that confident about it. Sort of felt like I was rambling on and coming off kind of desperate :/
I was offered a job just a few days later
Tips: make eye contact and SMILE; wear lulu; talk about feedback, and your willingness to both receive it graciously and give it to others; make it CLEAR that you enjoy whatever sport/yoga you enjoy; don't focus too much on the clothes...they want to see if you fit in with the community
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions involving feedback were most difficult: Give an example of a time when you gave a manager feedback (eek weird question!) How have you adapted to feedback in the past? How have you elevated someone from mediocrity to greatness?
It was a group interview. It ended up being a very chill atmosphere and was done with 2 interviewers and 5 candidates. Asked a few questions, popcorn style. Was done in 45mins.

Question 1
Ways that we have included diversity and inclusion in our past jobs
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at lululemon (Summerlin)
Interview
Interview process took 28 days in total. Did three interviews and was invited to a “sweat” which was an intense boot camp style workout, that the current Lulu employees did not seem to enjoy. After an arduous interview process for a simple part time job, I was sent a rejection email not even ten minutes after leaving my last interview. No explanation for why, despite all prior interviews seeming great and being qualified experience-wise. Not sure why I had to do so many interviews if it ended up being a no. Summerlin location seemed to be lacking in diversity, so may have dodged a bullet.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you developed a friendship with a complete stranger (?)
Super chill and easy! It was a group interview (for us it was 2 people) then a follow up call with the store manager. Everyone was really friendly and the offer came quickly.
