      Beauty Advisor Interview

      3 Mar 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Sephora

      Interview

      I applied and the same day got a response and was told to apply on the heros job app, which I thought was a bit much but I did it. I then got a text from two different numbers to schedule my interview and that alone started to turn me off from the job because there was miscommunication already. So I schedule my interview and the next morning the “manager “ on the hero’s app asks me to change it. Um ok? So my interview got pushed back 2 hours and I start to get ready and of course I get ANOTHER random number texting me to confirm. I get ready and head to the interview in which I have to tell 3 different people my name and one of the guys twice because I’m just that forgetting and also find out last minute it’s a group (which I was fine with) so we walk 5 minutes to a coffee shop and get asked questions in the BLAZING SUN for half an hour. I gave my all for this interview and guess who didn’t get the job. This person!

      Beauty Advisor Interview

      7 July 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Sephora (New York, NY) in July 2026

      Interview

      Submitted an app the middle of the previous week. On Tuesday of the following week I received an email for a 15 min interview. I accepted the offer and was only given the following day as option to interview, to decline or to “reach out for help” if i need help selecting a day and time. The day of the interview, I introduced to myself to the greeters and they were they seemed unbothered flippant - they respond only when spoken to. Its like 4 of them there aloof and would do anything but. A finger point led me to the maze before entering. I greeted everyone there no response and was directed to be seated. The ASM was kind enough at first and made it a point to not talk about anything beauty or sephora. She wants to know about me. Cool. Im genuinely passionate about beauty so in mentioning it during a few unrelated facts that I had to about myself it came up and she seemed completely turned off. She asked typical questions about my current role - What i like, what i dont like, what ive learned. Whats a weakness and whats a strength. I tried to ask something about her in turn and got lukewarm walled off answer for about half the other half was fine. Was told I’d hear back by a particular date and didnt hear back. I followed up via email then received a boiler plate response from the software they used - the email was completely ignored. Not worth requesting feedback and to be fair Im not the best interviewer. Regardless, not the best display of integrity and character in the process on their end.

      Application

      I interviewed at Sephora (Toronto, ON)

      Interview

      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.
