I received an email notifying me of the group interview on the morning before the scheduled interview. The email said to reply to confirm my attendance at the group interview the following day. The interview was scheduled on a Friday at 7:00 a.m. I showed up at around 6:50 a.m. and there were already around four people waiting outside the store. The last interviewee arrived shortly after I did. There were about six interviewees in total. An employee opened the store doors and let us in around 7. The manager arrived shortly afterwards. We pulled out yoga mats and sat in a circle on the floor of the store by the registers. All the interviewees were young, with the youngest being a high school senior and the oldest being in her mid-to-late 20s. The manager, a young and perky young woman in her 20s, was the person who conducted the interview. She said she had gone to a spin class earlier that morning at five or six. We introduced ourselves by saying our names, our favorite way to sweat, and an interesting fact about us. People mentioned things like running, weight-lifting, yoga; pets, skydiving, growing up in a different country, speaking other languages, etc. At the end, the manager asked us to come up with a question and pick someone from the group to answer it, so it would be a good idea to come up with your own question before your interview just in case. The last thing we did was write our contact info and availability on a sheet of paper. The job of seasonal educator (and maybe other positions too) involves working behind the scenes in the backroom and having different shifts each week, so be prepared to indicate what hours you can work. The late shift is from closing to 2 or 3 a.m. The manager said you wouldn't necessarily be disqualified if you couldn't work that late, but who knows if that's actually true. My recommendation is that you think about how late you can work or are comfortable working and discuss this beforehand with your parent(s), significant other(s), roommate(s), sitter(s), etc. The manager said the typical hiring process involves three rounds of interviews: group interview, one-on-one interview with key leader or manager, and one other interview whose format I don't remember. For the seasonal jobs, however, there are only two interviews - the group interview and the one-on-one interview. I did not make the second round. Lastly, the manager said that she expected regular (but NOT seasonal) employees to be able to commit to working at lululemon for at least a year.

Came in without many expectations. Was a group interview (5-6 others) over coffee that was paid for. Store manager, assistant manager and an employee interviewed us. One was keeping note, and two were asking us questions. You got volunteer to answer first, but eventually it just turned into going around in the order we sat.
