The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Boots in May 2009
Interview
After passing a lengthy phone interview which covered company history, makeup trends, and skin care trends I had an actual interview. Very chill. Just talked with the woman about makeup and skincare. Since skin car is the company's primary focus, you should be up to date on various competitors.
Made up of 2 stages - in store interview - describe favourite product, go around store helping people,
Personal interview with manager.
Get a grasp of what the job will be like.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Boots (London, England)
Interview
My interview experience was positive and structured. The process included an initial screening, followed by a technical/behavioral round, and a final discussion with the panel. The interviewers were professional and supportive, asking both role-related and situational questions. Overall, it was a good learning experience that helped me showcase my skills and gain clarity about the role.
Asked competency questions. Went onto the shop floor and interacted with customers. Picked out beauty products and had to explain why I chose them and also had to get a customer to come and test and try out a product.

Question 1
How would you help a customer who was picking out a product as a gift for their friend?
