It's a nice interview; they ask some details. But the altitude is not really that nice. Repeat the same questions, but don't pay much attention to the interviewee.I would suggest to prepare a bit better .
All they wanted to know was what previous experience you have that is applicable to working at Boots, and why you want to work there. Very impersonal interview, they are not interested in you as a person

What previous experience do you have that makes you believe you are suitable for the role?
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Boots (York, England) in Oct 2025
Interview
It was fast and smooth. The questions were easy, and the interviewer was very kind and nice. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the offer, but the interview process was good. Most questions asked you to use your own experience to show how you handle different scenarios in retail.
