I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty (Montgomery, AL) in May 2015
Interview
Easy Process, Got a call one week by the next I was coming in for a second interview. Never met the store manager until paperwork process. They ask you a few normal questions, show you around the store to meet other team members
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty (Clarksville, TN) in Nov 2013
Interview
Was odd. Was a group interview of about 20, and they hired all of us. Very uncomfortable with people talking over you and being rude. We introduced ourselves individually and that was the only one on one contact we had with the Assisstant manager. I feel like the seasonal hiring was a waste of time. Esp for them to triple their store staff and barely keep any seasonal people.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty (Montgomery, AL) in Dec 2014
Interview
Was contacted by a recruiter via LinkedIn. Ulta recruits heavily from LinkedIn. Once I passed her interview, I interviewed with the District Manager in person. Then I interviewed with the RVP via phone. The interviews weren't that difficult. Ulta Beauty is all about being Fresh, Fun, and Real. I came from a more uptight professional environment (which prepared me well to run a store), but you need to be able to adapt to a beauty culture as a leader.

Question 1
