I applied online. I interviewed at Boots (Hammersmith, England)
Interview
Applied online, completed the assessment, and then was called in for an interview within 1 week of applying. Store was busy so had to wait on the side when I arrived. Interviewer was very nice and friendly, it was almost an informal interview. I was asked the general competency based questions, 'can you think of a time when....'. I didn't have any previous retail experience so I wasn't able to give very good answers for them.

The interview process typically begins with an application review, followed by an initial interview. This may be a short phone or video screening, or an in-person interview. During the interview, candidates are asked about their previous customer service experience, availability, and how they would handle common retail scenarios. Some employers may include a short role-play or situational questions to assess communication and sales skills. Successful candidates are then contacted with an offer and details of onboarding and training.
