The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty in Sept 2011
Interview
Applied online and got a phone call the next day to schedule an interview a week later. I wasn't told it would be a group interview but there were three other girls there to be interviewed too. The questions were fairly simple. Why Ulta? What do you like best about this store? what do you buy here? Describe past situations, etc, etc. Three out of four of us got a job offer. The girl that wasn't asked to stay was absolutely horrendous. Arrived late and had no experience in a retail store or much less a cosmetics store. She wasn't wearing any make up, was in jeans and a tee shirt and you could just tell would be compleatly out of place in a cosmetic retail store.
If you go to the interviewed dressed well, (all black, which is their dress code is best), wearing at least some makeup, and just sound confident and upbeat, you will most likely get the job. One of the girls in the interview had no past work experience at all but she was friendly and talkative and they offered her the job.
