The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty in Apr 2011
Interview
I applied online through a job searching site and within maybe a week a manager called me, I've heard different time frames from people, one girl got a call within 5 hours of applying but I know that at that time they were desperate for workers since people were dropping like flies there. The interview was very casual although I was asked not to wear jeans to the interview. It was just me chatting with the manager about what the job intailed and he offered it to me that same day. I was hired for task which was pretty much a cleaning/building type job since they were remodeling the store at that time.
I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty in Aug 2009
Interview
One hour interview with DM. Very focused on people development and guest service and how to drive results with your team. Asked a lot of open ended questions, very thought provoking. Challenged the way I thought about my skills as a manager.
The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty in Apr 2011
Interview
I was given an extremely formal interview with one of the managers. She asked my why I want to work for Ulta and a few other typical questions. The interview went really well. At the end, of the interview she asked me what day I could start. I told her and she said okay and put my training date on the calendar. She gave me a card with a training date and her number and told me to call her before I came in. I anxiously awaited for the day to call her at exactly ten o'clock. I called and she was extremely puzzled. She said, "Training?, you have to go through another interview with the second manager so she can sign off on it". I said okay and I tried to reach the other manager. This did not every happen because she mysteriously couldn't talk or wasn't in all of the three times I called. I called the original manager who I interviewed with to try and find a way to contact the other manager. She acted confused again and said, "ohhhhh well so and so put a freeze on our hiring", which could be what happened. However, I was promised a training date, then a second interview. They weren't even professional enough to call me back EVER. I had to look like a fool and bother them repeatedly. The strung my along since somewhere around February until May.
