I applied online. I interviewed at Boots (Bristol, England) in Dec 2015
Interview
After applying for the job they emailed me 20 mins later saying they were interested and to answer an online survey. After the survey I had an email 2 days later saying they were interested and to come along for an interview which I then had to book online. I turned up at the interview 10 mins early and sat down until the assistant manager came out to get me. We went to the office and she done my passport and then she sat down and asked me some questions and about my availability. We then went out onto the shop floor where I was asked to sell a product which I had previously chose ready for the interview, I chose the Miss Manga mascara, and I then had to sell another mascara of my choice which might suit a different customer. She then took me to an aisle and asked how I would tidy it, and then she pointed out customers and I had to say whether or not they looked like they needed help and why. I then had to ask 2 customers if they needed any help. We then went back to the office and said that she was going to offer me the job instead of emailing me a few days later she told me there and then. The interview was meant to last an hour but only lasted 25 mins. I am posting this as I was so nervous for the interview and had read all the other reviews on here in preparation and it really helped!
