I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Boots (Bury St Edmunds, England) in Apr 2025
Interview
Went through a series of competency based questions. Then was told the salary for the role.
I have not been able to obtain any feedback for the interview. The reasons for this is that the phone line doesn't go through to anyone and my email for feedback was left ignored.
Perhaps it was a one-off, but i found this interview quite odd. Hiring manager asked about me and mentioned they weren't well so asked me to just write on the interview paper myself instead of discussing it which threw me off completely. But a relatively short and easy interview, they only ask about three 'tell me about a time' questions.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you have advised someone or shared your knowledge
I applied online. I interviewed at Boots in Jun 2026
Interview
Very disappointing recruitment process. I was told I had progressed to the next stage and booked an interview, but a few days later I received an email saying my application would not be taken further due to a high volume of applicants. To make things even worse, later on that evening, they reposted the role. The process felt disorganised and gave false hope.
Really quick and easy just a few questions interview went by very fast and was given a tour of the pharmacy which was also quite nice. Overall good environment and quite relaxed enjoyed the process
