estee lauder-talent plus advice?

[shmookie414]

So I am super stoked!

I applied for a beauty advisor position in my local Macy's and it happened to be for EL! I had an interview with Macy's, an brief interview with the counter manager, an interview with the counter executive, a brief phone interview with the account executive and now tomorrow I'm going to have the talent plus interview (also over the phone) with the account executive.. SUCH A LONG PROCESS!!! So I am hoping it will be worth it!

Anyway, this is not only my first retail job, but also my first cosmetics related job! I am so excited I have a large passion for makeup and this is just amazing that i've gotten this far with such little experience!!

Soo.. getting to the point.. has anyone done a talent plus interview before? what are some questions they ask?? i know its like a half hour, no feedback, strictly questions type of interview; but i want to be prepared as to what type of question to expect.. is it hard??

THANKS LOVES<3

Hi,
Basically we are on the same page right now... except I already did my talent plus interview and then got asked to come in for a face 2 face. Went to face 2 face and now I'm meeting with the counter manager tomorrow.
They're going to ask you A LOT of questions but it's pretty much like any job would. Things like..."How positive you are...scale 1 till 10" or "Do you prefer to land a sale by product knowledge or service?" " How do you feel about co workers the complain too much" " what you would do if you're not a good mood" "Have you won any prizes or awards?" Trust me... it's a LONG interview even though it's only 30 min.... but basically it's 30 min of you talking no feedback. They ask you a million questions... just because they're trying to figure you out. Will be pretty much about you previous experience, your qualities and why would you like to work for EL. Be yourself. Be honest. Don't be afraid to ask the interviewer to repeat the question in case you didn't exactly understood what they were asking. Try to be on a very happy and positive mood. Good lucK!
