I applied in-person. I interviewed at Bath & Body Works (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2014
Interview
Once I applied I received a phone call to come in and interview so I picked the date that worked best for me. You go to the back office of the store and you are asked standard interview questions. They want to know about your last few jobs and if you have any sales experience. Questions about how you helped a customer and how you can get a customer to buy more things. After the interview they do call your references so make sure you have reliable references.

Question 1
Describe a time where you helped a customer and how were you able to ensure that she had a great experience?
Very superficial, they will rate you out of 10 on looks and more before they decide to hire you. There is no office so interviews are conducted in the back store in a crammed area with no privacy.

Question 1
Explain a difficult situation and how you navigated it.
They ask a few questions about why you want to work there and the store and stuff like that and regarding products you may like. It was pretty chill and just try your best and it will go well
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bath & Body Works (Clarksburg, MD) in Oct 2024
Interview
Friendly, laid-back interview process. Mine was one-on-one, but I know they do group interviews from time to time. Picked out my favorite thing in the store and did a sales pitch for it during the interview.
