I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty (Monroe, NY) in Aug 2013
Interview
Applied online in the beginning of August 2013 and received a phone call towards the end of the month for an interview. Went in for an interview on a Friday, spoke with the GM one on one and was told I should hear back within next week. I suggest before leaving the interview give the interviewer a copy of your professional résumé. If the interviewer gives you their personal card I would also suggest sending them a "Thank You" letter via E-Mail stating you appreciate their time and etc.

I applied online. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty (Skokie, IL) in Jun 2013
Interview
I was contacted by phone for an interview and went in a few days later. Had to wait a bit and the manager then took me in the back. The interview was fairly straightforward, a lot of questions focused on customer service. Retail experience is important but not a game changer. Must be comfortable with using and talking about makeup, obviously.

I applied online and went into the store the next day to introduce myself to the manager. Two days later I got a call to schedule an interview the following Monday. The interview itself was laid back and what you would expect for a retail job. It was a one-on-one interview with the manager.
