I had an interview with Boots for Xmas temp staff in October. Before the interview I was told to prepare to talk about a product that I really personally recommend. The interview itself was really nice, the manager was lovely and we had lots to talk about. He praised the way I sold a product to a customer and said he would love an enthusiastic person like me on his team.
So the interview began with the manager asking to see my passport. He came across a visa I had in there, and we had a chat about where I went, why etc. He then asked me to talk about myself, just generally, until he had something else to ask; what hobbies I have outside of my university education; and how my friends would describe me.
Then we went out to the shop floor and he took me to the no. 7 counter and asked me to try and interact with a customer who was standing by it. She had moved away by the time we reached her, and the shop was pretty empty so he asked another employee to step in, and we had a nice conversation about some of the makeup there (something I was comfortable talking about). He asked there and then for her feedback on my performance.
After that we went back into the office. Then he asked me 2 scenario questions: 1) if there is a very angry customer who wants to cut in line, is shouting in your face and just being rude, how would you react? and 2) You are new and bright and know that your manager already wants to help you progress in your career at Boots. There are some staff members that have been there much longer without progression who feel resentful towards you and make it obvious that they don't like you. How do you deal with this?
After that he took my phone number again for clarity, told me what hours he would like me to work and said he would be in touch the next day if I had the job. He actually called back nearly a week after, so I had kind of lost hope, but relieved in the end! It was a nice and friendly atmosphere, so a good interview experience
