I interviewed at Boots (Uxbridge, England) in Jan 2026
Interview
Had a fair chat with the interviewer. he was laid back on the chair. asked me retail based competency questions nothing pharmacy or dispensing or product knowledge related. even they say no experience required on JD they still expect you to have a relevant qualification.

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
