I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at The Body Shop (London, England) in Dec 2015
Interview
I applied online and quickly received a call asking when I was about to have an interview. She was very welcoming and then, I was invited for a training day in Banbury (1 hour drive from where I lived). As I applied for a Christmas temp. at the time, the entire training day was focused all around Christmas with their products on a table, fake snow and mini Christmas trees surrounding us and chocolates all around the room! We were given chances to win products on the day which was a great insight as to what the company was really like.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What values The Body Shop supported, their history, some information on my CV, what hours I could work and what times.
I was asked a few basic questions by phone and then asked to come in for a laid back face-to-face interview. I was then asked to come back for the shop floor trial with the other interview candidates where we had to perform a series of tasks. It took them 3 weeks to send me a rejection email which I thought was very poor.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Body Shop (Canterbury, England) in July 2025
Interview
A 45 minute trial shift where they got you to interact with customers as if you worked there and give a hand and arm massage to a customer to try and sell an item. Very straight forward and they were looking to see if you follow what they ask.
the process was friendly, the first rounnd was phone interview followed by in person interview. the roles and responsibilities were east to follow . over all it was an easy and smooth eexperience.
