Sephora Operations Consultant interview questions

The hiring process is very generic, much like any other retailer in the mall. An application is submitted and the store will get back to you in a week or so. If passionate, stopping by the store during a slow period will help tremendously. I had an interview when I decided to stop by one day. I had an interview with the new store manager first and second interview with the manager being replaced a few days later. Then, it's up to your interview.

Filled out an application online and got called a couple days later for 1-on-1 interview with Sephora inside JCPenney manager.Interview lasted almost 1.5 hours in which the manager mostly described the job responsibilities and spent about 20 minutes asking me questions. Got called back for second interview with store manager. Asked a lot more questions about differences I saw between free standing Sephora stores and Sephoras inside JCP. Even though it was discussed in both interviews, when they offered me the job and I gave them my start date, they acted like that was a MUCH later date than was discussed and said they had to re-talk it over and get back to me. Didn't hear from either manager for 3 days. When they finally called me back at 5:30pm on day 3 they simply left a message saying they had given the job to someone else AFTER they offered it to me. I don't know if this is common practice but it did rub me the wrong way and left a sour taste in my mouth in regards to Sephora inside JCP.
