Colloquio
Submitted CV online then invited for group interview in the shop. Were asked to present someone we paired with, then work in groups to create a selection of gifts within a certain budget. We were also asked to prepare a short presentation on our favourite Lush product and then present it to a small group and a supervisor. It seemed quite intimidating at the beginning, but everyone bonds over that initial fear, and the staff didn't want us to feel nervous.
Offered a trial shift a few days after the group interview, then on the trial shift offered the job.
They specified in the email they wanted us to demonstrate our personalities, and since working there I have realised there is no 'one' person, despite how the staff present themselves with customers. It is actually a really diverse team in terms of personality, and they are looking to fill in the gaps in their team. So, if you don't get it it might not be because of your capabilities, but because they just genuinely want a different dynamic.
I would also say don't try to be what you think Lush expect, just be as authentically yourself as possible. The staff are really perceptive and can tell if someone isn't being genuine, but presenting what they think Lush want. That facade is difficult to maintain, and you probably won't get the job that way.
It was a group interview, very unconventional, hands-on, and activity-based, teamwork. They expect you to know their company values and ethics, which will carry over to your role. It was very relaxed and they made me feel very comfortable and heard.

Colloquio
Was offered an interview and it was fairly casual - in the cafe, and it only lasted around 45 minutes. Pretty much immediately after I was offered a trial shift, and I went and it was kind of horrible because we didn’t know anything about the products, and it also wasn’t very busy so it felt like we were competing with each other to get a customer’s attention, only to not even be able to give them proper information and just have to guess. It was a bit embarrassing and we didn’t get paid either, but we got a free shower gel. I found out I got the job on the way home from the trial shift.

Colloquio
Onboarding session and then a practice shift which involved you sitting customers down and demonstrating products on them. Lasts around an hour, and it’s done in groups of trial shifts.
