Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at Boots
Telephone interview scheduled for 10am - no call. Emailed recruitment team and told manager will contact you. No telephone call for one week!. Very poor show for an international company.
- Tell me about yourself? Tell me a time when you helped a colleague
Anonymous Employee
I interviewed at Boots
Role play on shop floor completing tasks and communicating with real customers, general questions in manager's office about experience and knowledge. Took my details and sizes for uniform should I be successful with the job.
- A customer comes to you with an urgent medical issue and you don't know the answer, what do you do?
Anonymous Employee in London, England
I applied online. I interviewed at Boots (London, England)
Really positive and not very formal. Normal competency questions were asked. We went over the online test. As I was speaking, the manager wrote down scores for my answers. I felt comfortable and at ease.
- Competency questions such as why would you like to work here etc.
Anonymous Employee
I interviewed at Boots
Typical retail interview questions with the manager who was very welcoming, only lasted 20 mins or so and wasn’t even asked to do a shop floor trial after the interview.
- What product would you recommend to a customer?
Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied online. I interviewed at Boots
Very uncomfortable, they don’t do anything to ease your nerves. They make you go out onto the shop floor and I believe if your not successful in getting a sale , your not getting the job. They don’t even let you know if you unsuccessful.
- Why do you want to work here
Anonymous Employee
I applied online. I interviewed at Boots
I filled in an application online and then got invited to interview. They asked basic questions and also asked us to pick a product and try and sell it to them as if they were different age customers.
- If I was a teenager how would you try and convince me to buy this product?
Anonymous Employee
I applied online. I interviewed at Boots
It was a relaxed interview process. They mainly wanted to find out about you and the relevant skills you have. They also talk you through the job to make sure you know what you're going to be doing and whether it's right for you.
- What relevant and transferable skills do you have for the job?
Anonymous Employee
I interviewed at Boots
Straightforward, 2 clear initial interviews with general questions/CV overview. Final interview with a case study and then a simple SQL test, no love coding however. Interviewers were calm and welcoming.
- Emailed a case study, asked relevent questions, comparing 2 datasets.
Anonymous Employee in Ashford, England

Anonymous Interview Candidate

- What’s your favourite product in the new range ?
