Boots Christmas Job

Hi Everyone,

I applied the other day for a Christmas job at Boots and received an e-mail today telling me I'd passed the first stage and to complete an online questionnaire. I've done that now and I was wondering what happens from here. Are there more stages to this process or is it a simple yes/no at this point?

All help is gratefully appreciated!

    I have done the same, I am awaiting the next stage after completing the 35 minute assessment. I suppose they will be in touch if they want to do an interview.

    I did that and didn't pass the online assessment
  • Like you I have also completed the second stage of the online questionnaire so unfortunately I cannot tell you want happens next but I was hoping you might be able to help me.

    After I completed the first stage, I received an email from boots to tell me that they had received it, but after I completed the second stage, I didn’t receive an email. Did you?
    Thanks:)

    I've only just completed the second stage this evening and I haven't received any e-mail to tell me they've received my answers, only a short message on the application screen telling me that it was complete and they'd be in touch.

    I wonder what answers they're looking for on the questionnaire then. I don't suppose mine will be any good to be honest, I'm more a people person than a decision maker and it seems like they wanted decision makers more than people who don't mind striking up conversations with customers at random :(

    Primark uses the same system? No wonder people have such a hard time getting a job!

    To be honest though, I'm not sure I'd want to work at Primark, the poor staff there get taken the mickey out of them by customers and the most of the stock ends up on the floor by the end of the day for the staff to have to put back. No staff discount could be worth that!
