I applied in-person. I interviewed at Bath & Body Works in Jul 2013
Interview
I was called in for an interview about a month after turning in my paper application. The manager interviewed me and 1 other person at the same time. I had never been in a group interview before, so I wasn't sure if it would be tense or not. It was one of the funnest interviews I have had so far! No tension and though it felt friendly AND competitive since it was just me and one other person (who ironically currently worked for the same company and didn't even know it.) The manager was very upfront and respectful about everything. I loved the atmosphere and enthusiasm. It was professional as well as fun. She said to give her a week before she would call and inform us on there decision because she had to get a hold of our references first..and she was spot on! One week later (almost on the hour) I got a job offer from her and scheduled orientation dates.

Question 1
I had done so much research on this site that none of the questions were really unexpected or difficult. It was mostly situational questions like "If a customer is unhappy how do you handle it?" etc.
I applied through other source. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Bath & Body Works (Woodbridge, NJ)
Interview
There was a group Interview. The Questions were not difficult, but the Manager who gave the interview did not alternate the questions between everyone. She always asked the same girl first. I found that very unfair.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bath & Body Works (Mississauga, ON) in Oct 2012
Interview
Dropped off my resume in store and was able to briefly speak with the manager. Was called in for an interview a couple of days later. Interview was a group interview that included 4 people. The manager was very laid back and easy going. It was important to answer the questions properly as most not only touched upon good practices within retail, but answers also reflected your personality. The manager was definitely looking at personality and how you would possibly fit in the team environment rather than past experience. A couple of days later, another manager did a reference check, and I was hired the next day.
