I applied online. I interviewed at Boots (Honiton, England)
Interview
Awful, made to approach unsuspecting customers and question them about products. While being observed by a manager holding a clipboard. It was difficult because the store was empty and I had to keep asking the same customer. You also had to work every weekend.

About optimizing the store layout and link selling products to customers. Also a 5 minute chat about my favorite product.
I applied online. I interviewed at Boots (Doncaster, England)
Interview
The interview was a really good experience. The people there were very friendly and welcoming. All in all a great experience. Very professional. The questions asked were relevant to the role.
With some luck I eventually made it through the questionnaire. Then it was a phone call with classic questions. This was during covid so I don’t know whether the interview would normally be face to face.
Fantastic. From the start to the end of the process, I was kept informed and really enjoyed meeting the hiring team. They made me feel at ease and I enjoyed the process.
