Job Interview Questions: Job interview at a boots chemist. Please Help need some tips!!!?

I applied online to a customer assistant/ consultant role at a boots chemist near my area. I got a call from a private number 2 weeks later while I was out. They said they would like to invite me to interview the next week. I took the address down because I didn't receive a confirmation email or anything which is strange??? Anyway I really want this job can someone give me some advice because this is my first job interview. What do I wear and what shall I prepare for?

6 Tips For a Successful Medical Device Sales Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
They didn't leave a callback number, either?

If you got a callback number, definitely call them back to confirm the interview. If there's no callback number, just show up for the interview. If they say, You aren't on our list, say you received that phone call but had no callback number, and you would like to interview for the job anyway. (Don't wait for them to invite you to do so--very pleasantly but firmly say you are keen on the job and you would like to interview for it.)

Dress nicely. I don't know what that means where you are, but think about going out with your great-grandmother on your arm. Look nice, neat, pulled together. Look "professional," if you can, but if this job doesn't call for shiny shoes and bow ties, dress one notch below that.

A customer assistant/consultant role at a chemist...hm, I'm not exactly sure what that the specifics of that job are, but I assume it has a LOT to do with customer communications. So...anticipate questions about what makes you think you can work with customers. They want to hear you answer clearly, in strong sentences. They want to see that you are attentive. They will probably ask what skills you have that make you able to work with customers. Good answers: I am attentive, I listen well, I am interested in helping people solve problems, I am organized. They will probably want to hear what will make you a good employee. Good answers: I am prompt, I am reliable.

They may ask you to give examples of how you are ------ fill in the blank with prompt/reliable/organized/a problem solver, etc. So start thinking. What have you done in school, or with other organizations (at a church, a sports club, etc.) that shows you are any of these things?

Smile. Shake hands. Provide your contact information (perhaps have it neatly written/printed out on a slip of paper -- hand it over at the beginning or end of the interview) with a, "I'm sure you have this already, but I'm keen for the job" sort of a line.

Good luck!

    5 Job Interview Tips



    Recommended Answer:
    Learn everything you can about the company before you go for your interview. Match up your skills and experience with what the company does.

    Make sure you have a professional-looking resume that clearly lists all of your relevant experience and education. Dress professionally and carry yourself with confidence.

    Every interview is different so it is hard to predict exactly what to expect. You need to listen carefully to the interviewer's questions and answer them truthfully and fully. Try to give specific examples from your background that show how well-suited you are to fill the position. If they ask you what salary you expect, tell them that you are "open".

    After the interview, thank the interviewer for his/her time and tell them that you are genuinely interested in the job. Also, ask them when they expect to make a decision.

    Good luck!

          Recommended Answer:
          if this is causing you real anxiety then I would recommend that you see your Dr. if you are un insured ma be smoke some K2 incense and work on peace and forgiveness.. however each Boss is an individual person just like you are and many enjoy the respect of their subordinates while others don't and try to get the most productivity from the fewest people .. either way look at the other employees doing jobs that you will be doing prior to interview.. ask them if it is a good place to work .. There answers should be reassuring or A sure sign to move on down the job list... good luck times are hard good jobs are few and far between

              Job Interview Questions: Why during a job interview would i be asked to pop packaging bubbles?

              keep in mind this was a panel interview for a famous construction company. the job was for an engineering position. was this some psychological game? i was asked to do this right at the end of the interview, right before i was asked if i had any questions for the interviewers. any thoughts?

              Prepare For Your Job Interview



              Recommended Answer:
              My guess is that they're trying to determine what kind of problem solver you are. If you pop the bubble one by one, they will probably think that you're careful and meticulous. If you twist it up and pop a bunch at a time, they'll probably think you work quickly, but you may not be very careful.

              I don't particularly think that this would necessarily be a valid way of assessing an applicant, but if I were to guess why they did this, that would be a likely explanation.

              Job Interview and Preparation Coach


              • I would guess that a psychologist has convinced someone in upper management of the company that how a person pops bubbles demonstrates some trait about their personality. Often how it works is some shrink will get in good with a top executive and sell them a bill of goods on their wacky theories. Or maybe some top executive about it somewhere. So, yes it is a psychological game and I hate it when hiring companies do that. It doesn't necessarily mean that they are a bad company to work for...at least I hope not.

              • Psychological GAME, no. It was a psychological TEST. In ANY job interview, it is normal to have questions designed to help the interviewer(s) understand HOW you THINK. this would be especially relevant for an engineering job.

                Did you pop the bubbles in rows?
                Did you ball up the bubbles and squeeze?
                Did you randomly pop bubbles?

                All of these give clues to your STYLE of thought that are not easily found though direct questions.

              • Yeah...did you ask them why they wanted you to pop the bubbles ?

              Job Interview Questions: The job interview question "Why should I hire you?"?

              I have a job interview tomorrow, and I'm kind of nervous because I know they're going to ask me why they should hire me. As I've been researching and reading, I realize this question is asking for a story about how I overcame obstacles and perhaps saved a project. The thing is I don't really have any work experience except for like little stints. And I haven't done anything amazing on any school projects yet. So like, I have nothing to say, what should I do??

              What to Do When Your Job Interviewer is Distracted - And You Want This Job



              Recommended Answer:
              First of all do not be nervous. Be confident about yourself and your desire to work for that company in the chosen position of your choice.

              Research as much as you can about what your employer is dealing with, example: their business, latest news about the company, their industry of operations etc.

              You can tell them to hire you because:
              1. You are willing to devote yourself to the job and the growth of the company.
              2. That you are skilled and educated in the field of the advertised job.

              Good luck!

                Recommended Answer:
                Take your resume with you if you have one.
                Ask what are the busiest days and hours of the week.
                What is the turnover rate for employees working there.
                What type of training to they provide?
                What happens to overages or how do they handle it if the register comes up short?
                How the person interviewing you would handle a difficult situation such as a customer returning something that was clearly worn but denying it. I am sure they will ask you how you would handle a situation. What is the return policy.
                How to handle a situation if you discover a credit card is stolen.
                When is the schedule created and how many hours you can expect to work.
                Are you expected to be on call in the event a coworker calls out and if it would qualify you for overtime if you have met your quota.
                Do they pay overtime?
                How are weekends scheduled?
                Look at the interviewer in the eyes when talking and don't forget to smile.
                Dress nicely and do not smell like smoke, onions, or have perfume on. Some are allergic. Leave all piercings out except for the ears.

                    Job Interview Questions: Job Interview at a Sony Centre on Saturday - Advice? [10 Points for best answer]?

                    I'm very eager to go to this job interview, and I have had past experience with them. I currently work as banking staff caterer at a private hospital. Unfortunately, I do not receive enough work to make some good money to support me as a nearly-18 year old.

                    I am currently an A2 student in the UK, studying Computing, ICT, Biology and Chemistry. The guys in there seemed to be impressed by the fact I do computing and ICT.. and I'm a girl.

                    I would greatly appreciate any help on:

                    - What to wear (But please elaborate, not just 'smart clothing')
                    - Make-up
                    - How to impress
                    - What to say
                    - How to make a good first impression

                    Every answer will be appreciated, and the best answer will receive the 10 points as promised in the title.

                    Recommended Answer:
                    Hmm, not sure about the appearance parts, but i'd do some research on the company just in case they ask you if you know any knowledge of the company.
                    When you meet the interviewer firmly shake their hand and give them a smile, and ask how they are- just a casual conversation. Hope that's ok.
                    Good luck :)

                    Job Interview Questions: Who to send Thank you letter after Job interview?

                    My HR got my husband a job interview at a different client HR works for. He was interviewed by two direcotirs in different departments. My husband does not have neither one of their e-mail addresses because he was obviously contacted by the HR. Who do you think he should send the thank you e-mails to? I thought maybe calling the office to ask for those two guys e-mail addresses for Thank you letters is too much? Should he just send it to HR guy?

                    What do you think?
                    Any input would greatly be appreciated.

                    I like the idea of calling and getting the email addresses. It doesn't hurt to thank the HR person as well. And I think a thank you email is better than sending a letter.

                    • Honestly in what the person said below in about an e-mail instead of a thank you letter. I've learned through taking many business classes that after an interview if you send an e-mail it shows that you did it at a fast pace without taking your time that it seems unprofessional. If you send a lettter it requires more effort and time because anyone can pop an e-mail.

                      Second I would thank the person that interviewed you as well as the HR company that was doing the hiring/interviewing. I hope that helps :) I wish your husband the best of luck :)
