I applied online. I interviewed at Boots in Jan 2024
Interview
The process took 2.5 hours and mostly consisted of group tasks! This involved things like: being given scenarios and working with the other candidates to come up with how to handle the situations, finding the two top selling serums, mascaras, and moisturisers on the shop floor etc. You finish the day off with a one to one interview though!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A customer mentions they've heard good things about a competitor's products, how would you respond?
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Boots
Interview
Interviewer barely listened or interacted with me, acted stuck up and rude. Rejected me because I didn’t have experience yet on the job description they don’t need experience??? This is a waste of time, the whole interview was 3 hours and I sold 4 products in under 15 minutes, all for free? I would advise to not even go to the interview, they waste your time and you make them a profit for free.
Two part interview process with a showcase and the second part a 1-1 interview. It was good fun and gave plenty of opportunity to demonstrate beauty knowledge. 1-1 interview was standard competency questions.
Online questions. Next you’re invited into store for a group interview and ‘showcase’ where you answer knowledge questions on the shop floor by asking other staff members the top selling mascara etc. You then have to engage with customers as you would in your job role.
