Following an online application and assessment, I was invited for an interview at the store. The manager was absent and a colleague was standing in. There was no room reserved for my interview and they didn't really seem to be expecting me. The interview was carried out in a back stockroom area surrounded by boxes. In my opinion, the member of staff did nothing to make me feel at ease, quite the reverse., I'm afraid. I don't believe she had read my application.. I completed a short 1:1 interview after which I had to go to the shop floor. Despite having been told to prepare a product of my choice, I was instead given a different product in which to try to interest customers.

Arrived early so was invited to wait in the staff room, was greeted by a lovely lady, fairly young I’d say 20’s who was the assistant manager for the beauty department. Interview: photocopied passport (so remember to bring it), asked me customer-orientated questions and experiences I have had with customer/ situations I have been in. Very relaxed and I felt so comfortable at this interview, I’ve had many interviews before but this one was definitely the best. Didn’t have to go on shop floor even though the email said I would. Also I had applied to boots twice prior to this but never got an interview so keep applying you’ll get there :)
