I applied online. I interviewed at Boots (London, England) in Oct 2017
Interview
I applied for the job and had to do an online assessment. Two days later I got an email telling me to pick a date for an interview where I would meet the manager and do some activities on the shop floor. I arrived 10 minutes early and had to wait at the pharmacy for 15 minutes. Finally I met the manager and we went into a small room and she asked me for my details then for my passport then about days and times I was available. She then asked my questions which I will list below. Thankfully I didn't have to do the shop floor activities and she just let me go telling me I would get an email regarding my application. The next day I got an email welcoming me to Boots and to login to an employee website and fill out my details and read a bunch of documents and complete modules/tests on health/safety and security.
