I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Vitamin Shoppe (Crystal Lake, IL) in July 2014
Interview
Applied for the position, then was scheduled for an interview, lasted about an hour. Got called back for a second interview with Store Manager, and got offered the job about 2 weeks later. Pretty simple and great. The longer the interview, the better your chances are. They need to seem interested in you and you need to dress the part, otherwise you have no chance.

Question 1
What knowledge do you have about the supplement world and what brings you to this type of job?
Multiple rounds, friendly interviewers. I had a phone interview first, then an in-person with the store manager. The last round was another phone interview, this time with the district manager
The interview was super relaxed but very professional. They didn't expect me to "know everything," instead they emphasized a willingness to learn and work as a team. It was very reassuring and I got a great vibe from both the manager and assistant manager.
