I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Estée Lauder Companies (Calgary, AB) in Feb 2016
Interview
Very structured. Not allowed to ask for an explanation of the questions. Very black and white. I was unsure as to what the interviewer was actually asking. This was the 3rd interview after one phone interview from the store. One in-person interview in store and then this 3rd "talent-plus" interview. The whole process seemed somewhat disorganized.
I applied online as an internal applicant. I did a zoom interview where I had to showcase my Make Up skills (1hr) and then proceeded to the next stage which was a standard interview plus a 3 month business plan (2hrs). I did get the job but the process is so long for something that might not be guaranteed.
3 steps of interview - first interview - a group interview, discussion on sales techniques and then applying highlighter to each other. 2nd stage - traffic stopping and selling on the shop floor- 3rd interview - an interview with the store manager - A very in-depth in interview for a retail job.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Estée Lauder Companies (San Antonio, TX)
Interview
Applied on Indeed, received email to interview with Estée Lauder area manager, the following interview would be with the actual dept store manager (in this case Saks) who made the final hiring decision.
I didn't make it that far; after the initial phone interview I received a rejection letter.
