I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Boots (London, England) in Nov 2016
Interview
I applied online and got the email asking me to complete the online assessment. After that, I received an email asking me to pick a time for my interview.
I chose to come in a bit early so that I could familiarise myself with the store for a bit. After that, I went to a member of staff who took me to the manager. The staff member seemed nice and even tried to give me some advice. Inside the room, the manager asked me about the days I could work and then the questions started. It was casual and quite customer service-orientated.
I was then taken to the shop floor where I was asked to go around handing baskets but it wasn't that busy. After, I was asked to help neaten some products on a shelf and the manager seemed pleased and accepted me.
very easy process. asked basic scenario questions. taken down to shop floor and questioned on gift ideas for christmas. took around 20-25 minutes. received a response within a week or two to say i got it.
I was told I'll be doing some work on the shop floor, however none of that happened. it was a group interview and was just asked three questions which took about 15 mins.

"Why this role at Boots?"
"What previous experience do you have?"
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Boots (Dublin, Dublin) in Oct 2025
Interview
The interview was so quick only lasted about 30 mins. It was a group interview with three others including me. We were first asked to pick out a product from the christmas section on the floor that we thought would be a top seller. We then showed it to the manager and brought it back to the shelf where the manager asked if there was anyting we would do to improve the shelf display. Once everyone did that, we went up to the office where we were all asked one customer service type of question and then just general questions like availability etc. I’m not sure if I got the job yet but I just selected that I have to post this.
