Boots Christmas Temp Interview

Hi, i’m still waiting for a response back about the interview outcome, a few days ago i saw a new listing for the same job and was a bit confused. I’m not sure about what i’ll do if they don’t get back to me soon.

hi
You mentioned something about seeing the same job advertised a few days ago - is it the same reference number as the one you applied for with boots... ( Each job they advertise has a reference number attached to it, they do sometimes intend to reuse the same reference number for new jobs but very rarely this happens - if it is the same reference as your current one then you can't apply for the job as not allowed to do so for a year normally). Of course your online profile would not let you apply for it anyway.
You should be getting a response from them either way to let you know how you did 🙂 🙂.
Any concerns about it I would probably suggest you contact the particular store you applied to and ask for a update on your application.n

UPDATE
ok so i emailed earlier today asking about the outcome, i’ve just received voicemail from the hiring manager asking to speak soon so i reckon i’ve got it (assuming i would’ve been rejected by email like last time), i’ll update again after he calls me!!

Hi
Wow thank for the update on your job possibility with boots.
It's sounds like you might be offered a job with boots with way you said that " the hiring manager asking to speak soon", I'm keeping my fingers crossed 🤞 for you 🙏.
Yes you are probably right that you would have had a email saying "sorry you weren't successful on this occasion".
Hopefully they won't take to much longer to notify you with a phone call 🤙.
Look forward to hearing from you soon with updates. X

Hi again,
I have recieved an offer to work at the store now!! thank you for all your help and advice as it has payed off, the only thing i’m unsure of now is the pay. he called earlier and we spoke about the job and what happens now. but no mention of pay so i’m unsure on that but i’m assuming i’ll find out soon, i’ve checked online but there are various answers so i’m unsure on which is accurate, thanks again for all your help!!

Hi
Congrats and well done for getting the job offer with boots.
Good you eventually got the offer from the store you applied for as took them long enough to do so.
Pay generally starts around £10.64 per hour for customer assistant/advisor in boots but yes please do check with them what you should be getting paid okay. I'm obviously earn more than that because of being a pharmacy dispenser advisor ( £11.70 per hour)
Is the job for Christmas temporary and did they give you a time scale of how many weeks you'll be working with them and hopefully if it's a temporary job you'll be given a chance of permanent contract ( this depends on if you attend every day without being sick, getting on well with the other staff and working well as part of a team and don't get yourself in trouble with anyone) .
You are welcome 🤗 🤗 🤗 for advice I given you okay.
Keep me posted on how things are going 🙏 you can always PM me.
I'm not in boots today because of working Nightshift last night and will be catching up with my shift in boots later in the week.

Hi
it’s a temporary job with opportunity for employment after the contract ends.

Hi again, its been a while. Ive had 2 shifts now since being hired, I have been paid for one of my shifts and not the other. I am unsure on if its because the boots working week is different to the regular one or if its because my first shift is not paid due to it being half training half actual work on the shop floor. I was wondering if you'd know the reasoning.

Hey! congrats to the people who got hired. I've been trying to get a job for a couple of months now using Indeed and don't get many interviews. I've only been to 2 interviews and though I got hired at one sales rep job I had to decline because of family situation. Do you guys have any CV tips or anything. I'm 18 and taking a gap year so have a lot of time and I want to save up for uni

hey!! the only tip that i can really think of is to make it clear that you have a lot of availability. the place i’m working at now really values that and it’s probably one of the main reasons why. but also don’t lie about your availability just to get hired, especially if you know you can’t work that much. Also apply to loads of christmas temp jobs, they tend to hire more quickly because of demand.

Glad your store is appreciating your availability now and it looks good for you as well being available to do extra hours which can hopefully lead you to a permanent job offer....
Hope everything is going okay for you at your boots store

Would you be better using retailers own website for applying for jobs rather than something like indeed as you will probably get better opportunities to have a interview.
Be honest about what hours and days you are available for working.
Getting a temporary job can always lead to a permanent job.

hi, yes everything is going well so far!!

The only problem with this is it is very time consuming to have to fill in the same info over and over again and even do 20 min pre-interview tests as well. I'll give it a go though
