I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Boots (Glasgow, Scotland) in Oct 2023
Interview
I applied online for a christmas temp role, then arranged an in-store interview. We were brought upstairs into the breakroom, then taken one at a time for an interview with a manager. The interview itself was short, approx 10 mins.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mostly general interview questions around experience and how you would apply this to the role, then further questions around availability.
I have applied for a role of a Retail Operations Assistant (Christmas). Initially, I was invited for an interview. Within the same invitation I was required to fill in my two preferred dates. After submitting I have not heard from the hiring team for 7 days only to receive an interview cancellation. It is rather disappointing considering it is a temporary role and was expecting a much more swift reaction from the hiring manager.

Interview
Had to wait over 40 minutes for interviewer to come and got no apology or formalities, was just told to come. Patronising interviewer. Ticked the times and days I was free on the application however upon the interview I was told they were looking for someone who could work a night shift which I wasn't aware of as the application made it seem like it was daytime job?
It also was not a group interview like the email said and there wasn't 2 stages, it was just a quick interview/chat that was about 10 minutes yet I had to wait nearly an hour for it.
