The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Boots (Nottingham, England) in Oct 2014
Interview
When I arrived, I asked an assistant who worked at boots to let the manager know I was here. I arrived slightly late but had told the store before hand. I waited around 20 minutes. The whole interview lasted 20 minutes. We walked up the stairs to a small office and the interviewer introduced themselves. I sad down and she began asking me if id had any retail experience and any work experience. I then handed her my passport, which she scanned, and she came straight back, she needed this as proof I can work in the U.K. She then asked me some questions about working in a team, have you ever helped a stranger. Then she asked me some scenario questions. It was then the end of the interview. I wasn't asked to go to the shop floor like other people.

I applied in-person. I interviewed at Boots (Dublin, Dublin) in Oct 2025
Interview
The interview was so quick only lasted about 30 mins. It was a group interview with three others including me. We were first asked to pick out a product from the christmas section on the floor that we thought would be a top seller. We then showed it to the manager and brought it back to the shelf where the manager asked if there was anyting we would do to improve the shelf display. Once everyone did that, we went up to the office where we were all asked one customer service type of question and then just general questions like availability etc. I’m not sure if I got the job yet but I just selected that I have to post this.
