interview for the role of Boots Beauty Specialist

I've got an interview for a role at Boots. Has anyone had an interview for this role before and could give me some tips on what to prepare? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!

well done for getting a interview as a boots beauty specialist 🙂 🙂

Unfortunately nobody can tell you the exact question what you maybe asked due to fairness to any other candidates also applying for same role as yourself.... I'll give you a quick few examples of what you maybe 🤔 asked 🙂....


Some Boots interview questions are........

1) Why do you want to join Boots....
2) Tell us about a time when you had to work with people who you didn't know..
3) Tell us about a time when you saw someone who needed help and What did you do to help them...
4) Tell us about a time you went out of your comfort zone to help someone...
5) are you flexible for working various days and hours.......
6) how do you cope with a angry customer....


Two parts, one interview and one practical demonstration. You may be asked to do a full face of makeup on the interviewer, you'll have to colour match and know products that meet their foundation needs .

you will probably be asked to demonstrate some things as part of your interview as you will have a informative chat question and answer interview and then ask to do something on the shop floor in the department you'll be working in if successful and then finishing off with more questions etc in the office


Good luck with your interview and let know how you do 🙂 🙂

How did your interview go and was you offer the job.

The interview went well; it was on the 18th of July, and I didn't hear back until yesterday. Unfortunately, I was rejected. There were five other people in my group who were also interviewed, and they were also rejected.

Hi

Sorry to hear that you were rejected for the role of beauty specialist with boots.
Timescale for the reply back regarding the job with boots is probably down to still doing interviews for this role, or maybe awaiting to see if the person they offered it to still want the job and if not keep going down the list until someone gets it or another one is the person took the job but maybe never came back after first day.....


At least you tried the best 😔.

Can I suggest that you perhaps keep applying for different roles with boots as you will eventually get a offer.
