I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Boots (Gatwick, England) in Aug 2017
Interview
I first found out about the job through Boots Jobs website, which was easy to use. You upload your CV and then take an online test. If you pass, you'll be asked to go in for an interview. The manager was very friendly and it was a very relaxed interview. She asked me some routine questions, and I was then asked to go onto the shop floor to 'sell' a product to the manager. It can be any product that Boots Sell. Afterwards, I was asked to go and help customers with their shopping. I just asked if they needed help with anything and helped them if necessary. Be sure to look around the store beforehand so you know where everything is! Finally, I went back into the office, and got a call the next day saying I had gotten the job! The whole interview lasted around 45 minutes.

Question 1
Give me an example of how you've worked effectively as a team.
Private interview questions - pretty standard just based on experience and given loads of time to answer. Then taken to shop floor to pick a product and how I would recommend/sell it.

Question 1
What would I do if I seen a customer who was looking around the store quite confused
Easy enough interview, just asked the typical interview questions. Thought i fit the role well but did not receive an offer or any reason for not being selected. Interview took place in a cleaning closet, which i did find strange as it was opposite the staff break room.
The interview was an hour long. Questions were
asked around compentencies. I was then brought out onto the floor to interact with customers and demonstrate product knowledge. Overall, it was pleasent, good interview.
