El proceso tomó 1 semana. Acudí a una entrevista en lululemon (Vancouver, BC) en sep 2011
Entrevista
After submitting online my resume and extensive application (which included 11 essay questions), I was invited via email to attend a meet and greet breakfast at the store. There were 6 prospective applicants and 3 management-level employees present. It was a fun, casual, freeform interview, during which we went around the circle and everyone introduced themselves (including the employees). I was impressed by all the applicants and what they brought to the table. I think it speaks volumes to the company and the high-calibre people that they attract.
Three days later, I was invited back for a one-on-one interview with a manager. We covered topics such as: why lululemon, my favourite way to sweat, how I cheer myself up when I'm feeling down, my goals / dream job, etc. And in turn, I was given the opportunity to ask questions.
Both interviews left me feeling sure that lululemon is not your typical workplace and that it was where I wanted to be. I was told that I'd receive a decision within two days. I received a call the same day as my 2nd interview with an offer. I accepted immediately.

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.
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.
