      Christmas Temp Customer Assistant Interview

      Nov 28, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Broughton, Wales
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Boots (Broughton, Wales) in Nov 2016

      Interview

      The interview itself was much better than I anticipated. The manager who interviewed me was really friendly and made me feel at ease. She asked a few questions like DOB when I could start and any dates that I couldn't work and then told me the end date of the contract. She then asked me a few questions such as 'name a time you had to build a relationship with someone you didn't know' and if I had any retail experience. She then asked me why I wanted to work for boots and she seemed pleased with my answer. She then asked me to sell her the product I had chosen and she said it persuaded her to buy it and that she would after her shift. She also took me out on the shop floor and asked me to suggest improvements, which I did. She did not ask me to approach customers because she said it was too busy and would be unfair for her to do so. We then went back to the room and she told me a few things about herself and what it was like working for boots. She told me what the uniform was for a Christmas temp and the salary. She said she would be in touch Saturday night or Sunday but it is now Monday night and I'm yet to hear anything.

      Easy interview

      Application

      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.
