At the time, the interview was poorly prepared and I was sat wafting for around 40 minutes after my interview time. When the person came out to interview me he appeared to have forgotten all about it and was ill prepared with his questions. I felt this whole process was unfair

Application
InterviewI applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Boots (Gateshead, England) in Feb 2021
Worst I have ever had, unprepared and uninterested interviewer who rang 2 hours late with no apology, so many competency questions and then questions within each question, far too many for the job title, never had an interview as bad as this one. Application process and assessments were fine, interviewer a nightmare.
