I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Boots (Reading, England) in Apr 2015
Interview
Applied online, filled in all the details and after few days received link confirming that I've passed first stage and for the second stage I was required to complete a quiz, which included more or less regular questions like "what would you do in a situation like...". After that received another email that I've passed the second stage too and that I'm invited to the interview where I'd have to have an interview with the manager and a practical task. Basically, for me they just gave one of their newest daytime creams (no.7) and I had to go talk to people and offer them to swap it. At the time of the interview the store was completely dead since it was around 9:30 therefore I didn't do very well. Approximately a week later I received another email that I didn't get the job.
