InterviewI applied online. I interviewed at Boots (Marlow, England) in Jul 2022
Long! A very long process, first the CV checks, then the phone interview, then the in-person interview and then the store showcase took over an hour where you have to demonstrate product knowledge and selling to customers on the floor. If you get through all that, you can go through to store approval, but each stage is a week apart, so took ages to start!
Interview Questions
- What is your most loved beauty product and why? Sell me this Beauty product. What is good customer service to you? How has past experience made you qualify for the job? Why do you like No7?
