They don't interview- they have an online selection process involving different scenarios and a personality test

Yes your right, the questions are a headache! Consistency is what they're looking for with regards to the personality test.

What locations has everyone gone for then? :smile:

Hey I have an offer too, I've noticed the pay is £1456 per annum, Is it me or is that ridiculously low considering we are working full time?

Hi, have you filled in your details and signed yet? I reckon you need to do that first before you can view your offer letter. It is found under the section titled "forms".

Ohh my, did you try and change your password if you possible can so that they can send a new one to your email address? if that doesn't work I would wait till monday to either phone them or perhaps email them on here: resourcing.central@boots.co.uk

Edit: On their Facebook page it said that quite a few people had difficulties logging in and they will sort it out and get back to you tomorrow :smile:

. Good luck.

Does anyone know when we have to reply back to our offer? Is there a specific date?

I got an email saying I was "unsuccessful" and they won't even tell me why. Feel pretty rubbish as everyone else seems to be getting offers so feel as though I did something really wrong in the questions but have no idea what!
Hmph.

In the offer letter it says to reply within 10 days of receiving the letter i.e. 10 days from the date on the letter :smile:

Pity the letter doesn't say how to decline the offer...

Thank you for your kind advice. I did try changing my password as well, but it doesn't seem to work. However, I am going to email them now and may be I will try ringing them too, I really hope it works. :frown:
