CV and interview tips

Wear your lucky pants!

The first steps to your brand new career!

Here are the top 10 interview tips written by our Resourcing team to help you succeed in getting your ideal role at Superdrug…..

1: Visit the store
It is great to come to the interview understanding the store you are applying for. Consider how it looks? What are its challenges? Who are its customers? Could you work there?

2: Research our brand
Our brand is important to us so we love to hear what you think of it. Research us by looking through our website, visiting stores and speaking to others.

3: Read the job description
Understand what the actual job role is and think about how you would fulfil it. Would you enjoy the role? Why are you a good candidate?

4: Check the details
It may seem basic, but check where your meeting is, who it is with and at what time. This will ensure you are more relaxed and prepared, rather than late and flustered!

5: Think about yourself
Spend some time thinking about strengths and your past career. Where have you worked? What did you learn from these positions? What areas do you need to develop?

6: Presentation
Body language and how you present yourself makes a big difference at an interview. Dress professionally and demonstrate positive body language throughout the interview.

7:  Interview us!
Think about what you would like to find out about the company, store and position. Plan the questions you would like to ask – remember this is your opportunity to find out if this is the right role for you!

8: Talk to us
In the interview talk to us! We want to hear about you and your experience so try to elaborate on your answers and give us as much information as you can.

9: Bring details
Ensure you bring along any information we have asked for prior to the interview. To all interviews please bring along your evidence of Right to Work in the UK (Passport/Birth Certificate & National Insurance Number) and, if asked, your completed application form. This information is required before any offer is made, so if you bring it at interview stage it will speed up the process.

10:  Be yourself
We are looking for the Right People with the Right Personalities to fit our brand. The interview is your opportunity to show us your personality – be open, smile and try to enjoy the experience!
