The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Boots (London, England)
Interview
Started off vy applying online with a 40 question application (multiple choice - how you would deal with certain situations/what you're like as a person etc) then I was invited to a face to face interview. I arrived a bit early (15 mins!) But this was no problem, although I was seen at my assigned time - maybe not a good idea if you're nervous! I was quickly made to feel very comfortable in the interview and was asked 8(?) I believe, competency based questions and if I did not have an answer, the manager was happy for me to return to it. I had revised beforehand though so luckily had some answers prepared and a week later I was contacted by phone to offer me the job.

Introduction, and competency based questions with availability/visa inquiries. All the boots interviews follow this pattern. I had no response from any of them neither a rejection nor acceptance. They do not tell us about outcome of the interview.
