Interview
--UPDATE--
I received an offer a couple of weeks later via phone, a new Christmas temp job became available and they had kept my interview pack on file and they called to see if I was still interested.
Applied online - very basic information plus availability
The next day I received an email asking me to complete the online assessment. This took some time, it consisted of several scenario based questions followed by 72 personality questions. Next i received an email asking me to schedule an interview. The interview was very straight-forward and didn't take 50 minutes like the email suggested. I was taken up to an office and asked a few standard questions followed by my availability. Unfortunately HR had been referring people with the wrong availability for the shift pattern of the job available so I was not the right fit for the job. However, it was a very informal relaxed interview and I wouldn't hesitate to re-apply in the future.

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.
