Boots Interview Questions

Application

I interviewed at Boots (Bromley, England) in February 2019.

Interview

There was 3 of us being interviewed at the same time but for different stores. The lady who interviewed us was lovely and kept things really simple and a chilled atmosphere. We were asked different questions then shown a mini makeover then had to practise on each other describing products as if we were customers. After about an hour we were taken to shop floor where we had to interact with staff and customers... after a short while we then had to find a customer to have a mini makeover, which will seem daughten at the time but was actually quite easy . After doing makeover we then had to look at no7 stands and find things that could be improved on !
After about 1 1/2 hours we were taken downstairs to room again and asked questions etc then were told that we had all passed with flying colours which obviously we were all very happy about!
One main thing is to know about the latest beauty tips... go onto you tube, Instagram and look at beauty magazines... you will be asked who do you follow and what beauty tips have you picked up on !
Interview was just over 3 hours long but because it's full on time goes very quickly !

Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Boots (New York, NY (US)) in February 2018.

Interview

HOWEVER, the meeting with the hiring manager was horrible. As a hiring manager myself, I have interviewed many people and understand you can have an off day, be incredibly stressed, or not be interested in a candidate. Throughout the entire meeting she never smiled, not even when she greeted me. Her vibe conveyed the fact there are major internal issues, or she hates working there. Typically, an interview consists of questions and a back-and-forth conversation. She went on a :30 rant about how much she is doing, was slouched down in the chair and did not convey any excitement for the company. I thought is she going to stop talking and ask me anything? I still have respect for the company, but a weak link exists in leadership.

I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Boots (New York, NY (US)) in May 2015.

Interview

I arrived 10 minutes early and the assistant manager saw me right away (the manager was on holiday so couldn't conduct the interviews themselves), however she wasn't fully aware of when I had booked my interview slot..!
She firstly told me a bit about the position, asked me to tell her a bit about myself and what experience is previously had. This was the extent of the questions!
We then went on to the shop floor where she asked me to find the cheapest box of paracetamol there was, and to say what I would do to tidy up a shelf.
From there we then went over to the No7 counter where I had chosen the face wipes to talk about and sell to a customer.
We then went in to the back room and I explained that I would have to return to university in September which I knew would affect my chances, and she kindly told me that they were probably looking for someone who was going to be with them for a longer period of time, which was completely understandable, but she would see what she could do when deciding with the manager.

Application

I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Boots.

Interview

I applied online and within a week got an email asking me to select a time and date to come in for an interview! I chose Friday morning! Also in the email they said to dress smart, and have a favorite product from boots in my mind.
When I got there I went straight to the back to the pharmacy and the lady there called for the manager who was very sweet and nice (later when I worked there I found out she was quite the opposite) she asked typical questions such as tell me a time you have shown leadership skills, a time when you have worked well in a team! She asked about my availability and why I wanted to work for boots and my careers goals! She asked some situational questions regarding angry customers, and answered the obvious to always be polite and courteous! Then we went to the shop floor where I had to find and 'sell' my favourite product to her. She also gave me some hand lotion and asked me to approach customers to try out the lotion! After that I left and I got a call at 6pm that evening to say I had the job and I would start the following week and to expect a letter in mail giving me all the details. The following week I went to orientation where I sat in a room with 10 or so others filling out paper work, getting uniforms and then did some training in the cash registers! The following day was my first day of work and I spent most day learning how to use the registers!
