Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 5 giorni. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso lululemon (New York, NY) nel mese di lug 2012
Colloquio
I applied online on a Sunday night and by Wednesday I had received an email asking me to come in the following morning for a group interview. Having read the reviews here I already knew what to expect. There were 3 women from lululemon and 5 interviewees, all women. Most were in college or fresh out of college. We went around answering questions about what brought us to lululemon, our favorite way to sweat, and a short term and long term goal.
The same day as the interview, I received a second email asking if I could meet with two of the assistant managers the following morning. We met at a local Starbucks and chatted for the better part of an hour. I was told the manager was going out of town for the weekend, but that I should hear back on Tuesday. I did not hear back and after my email inquiry as to the status went unanswered I assumed they were not interested in hiring me. It seemed strange because of how quickly they pushed everything through, but possibly it was because the manager was about to leave and wanted everything settled quickly. Overall I think the policy of not telling you they aren't interested is unprofessional. A simple email saying "we've decided to go with another candidate" would have been sufficient.

Colloquio
Group interview with multiple candidates and the manager and assistant manager. You get asked a question by the manager and everyone takes turns answering the questions and then repeat until the interview is complete. Then they call you for round two.
Personality based interview centered on empathy and being an overall nice person that is understanding and open minded. Wait times vary for callbacks and positions are often applied to by a lot of people.

Colloquio
The interview focused less on technical retail knowledge and more on personality, communication, teamwork, customer experience, and alignment with the company values and culture.
The questions required thoughtful and personal answers, so preparation definitely helps. It felt like they were looking for authenticity, self awareness, and strong people skills rather than scripted answers.
Advice for candidates: prepare real examples from previous experiences and practice speaking naturally on camera. Energy and communication style seem very important in the process.
