Group interview session began with a form to fill out with a few questions on, these were a mixture of practical questions like what days can you work and more abstract questions like if you had £1m to give to charity which would you choose and why?
The rest of the group session we were given tasks to do in groups relevant to different current campaigns or products, obviously you are constantly being watched and evaluated. Lots of people were incredibly extrovert and loud which can be intimidating if you are not like that but I think that they also take into consideration how well those people can work as part of a team. It's best to be yourself.
Top tip: Show an awareness and genuine interest in the ethics.
After that I was called for a trial shift which was good to see whether I the role would suit me.

Question 1
If you had £1m to give to charity which would you choose and why?
It was a group interview, very unconventional, hands-on, and activity-based, teamwork. They expect you to know their company values and ethics, which will carry over to your role. It was very relaxed and they made me feel very comfortable and heard.
I applied online. I interviewed at Lush (London, England)
Interview
Was offered an interview and it was fairly casual - in the cafe, and it only lasted around 45 minutes. Pretty much immediately after I was offered a trial shift, and I went and it was kind of horrible because we didn’t know anything about the products, and it also wasn’t very busy so it felt like we were competing with each other to get a customer’s attention, only to not even be able to give them proper information and just have to guess. It was a bit embarrassing and we didn’t get paid either, but we got a free shower gel. I found out I got the job on the way home from the trial shift.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Lush (Cardiff, Wales)
Interview
Onboarding session and then a practice shift which involved you sitting customers down and demonstrating products on them. Lasts around an hour, and it’s done in groups of trial shifts.
