I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Boots (Belfast, Northern Ireland) in Feb 2017
Interview
Regional Manager kept everything relaxed, it was a group interview so after a brief history and a few questions we then took part in role play on each other applying make up to each other as we would once we where on the shop floor 'fishing for customers'. Once on the shop floor all the girls where lovely, we each had to take turns fishing for our customers and then answered a few questions with the regional Manager.
It was very basic
It was an assessment, I had to bring proof to the No7 counter and make them buy No7 products.
It can challenging for people who do not like interacting with people
there were two interviews, stage 1 and stage 2. stage one in person customer interaction 1 hour long had to do customers makeup and product promotion, stage two online meeting
2 part interview, the first part of the interview you are on the shop floor they are marking you on your skills on how confident you are to approach a customer in the store and bring them back to store, make sure to try and get someone back that is what they are looking for, they will ask you to put some makeup on the customer they are not marking your makeup skills they want too see you won’t have a problem with approaching customers and bringing them back to counter.
If u pass this part of the interview they will then ask you back and do a formal interview they ask a lot of questions about what would you do in scenarios.
