I applied online and got an email saying that I can schedule the time and date I can do a phone interview. The interview was short and simple. The manager was really nice and overall a pretty relax interview.
The in person interview was a disaster. On my way to my 10am interview, I got a phone call that it was canceled. I rescheduled to 1pm in the afternoon on the same day. I got there on time but the interviewer was 15 minutes late.
I felt like they were asking questions that didn't have to do with how well I would do in the job. There was tons of them too. It was like a five page packet of questions. The interviewer also jots down all your messy answers onto a sheet of paper. The conversation felt very unnatural since there was little to no feedback on your responses and no eye contact.
I felt like I had wasted my time and any ounce of excitement for the job had left the second I was treated the way I was. If you're applying in NJ, you might go through the same thing. Good luck with the questions if you decide to apply.
It was easy but challenging coming from someone who hasn't worked in a beauty position before but relate it as much possible towards other job experiences with customer service and has some basic knowledge of beauty beforehand.
