I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Boots (Glasgow, Scotland) in Jun 2022
Interview
They put you through different situations and asked you to choose the most appropriate response. Many answers were similar but with subtle nuances. They often centred around how you would react if other employees were overworked, if the place was understaffed/empty, or if there were extra tasks (would you ask manager or would you take the initiative to do extra tasks?).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: If the store is empty and there are only a few customers what do you do? (responses were: do additional tasks, do online training, ask manager... etc)
Just standard interview questions to check competency. Felt like a normal conversation nothing too invasive. Just things like that when was one time you delivered excellent customer service or how to do so.

Question 1
Give one time you offered excellent customer service
Not bad, as long as you’re confident, they were very welcoming. It was a bit lengthy but I enjoyed it and come out feeling postive, it’s overall just to see if you’d be a good fit
Quick and easy. Standard retail interview. Was asked to talk about one of their products, to talk about myself. Was asked about my availability too. Good luck if you’re applying!
