I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Massage Envy (Charlottesville, VA) in Feb 2012
Interview
They check my certification and insurance and I did a brief massage on a staff member. They are very interested to see that you drape properly. This is more important than doing a great massage. Remember, your job is to keep management happy. This means they like therapists who will not cause problems. Stress that you like to follow direction, be responsive to the client's requests, drape properly, be on time, get the clients' rooms ready promptly and you will be fine.
Was asked to do a 50 minute practical on the manager with a small sit-down interview after. The lead therapist showed up briefly but didn't say too much to me; just kind of listened in. The manager asked me personal questions about my education and homelife and was encouraging me to work full time though I was available for part time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
My weaknesses, what I could bring to the team, retail experience, experience upselling, etc.
I applied online. I interviewed at Massage Envy (San Diego, CA)
Interview
Received phone call with brief interview and scheduled time to come in for hands-on evaluation where was able to continue dialogue/tour location and perform demo.
Demo is set up to how you would massage there so a standard 1 hour session break up:
5 min intake + medical history
50 min hands on
5 min outtake
Demo went well and offered job on spot though I asked a few days to decide.
I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Massage Envy (Evansville, IN) in Mar 2017
Interview
Perhaps my situation was unique. I simply walked in unannounced to check the place out, knowing I wanted to apply. The manager happened to be there and we talked for at least a half hour. I told her of my desire to work there, asked her a few questions, and told of my experience and background in massage. It was an enjoyable conversation and she helped provide me with some resources regarding transferring my license. We scheduled an appointment for an official interview and practical (massage), which was today. Having spoken at length before, there were just a few questions but mostly by me about how they do things.
