Pharmacy Intern at Kroger

Accepted Offer – Interviewed on Nashville, TN (US) Oct 2012 – Reviewed Nov 18, 2012

Interview Details My interviewer was my future boss – the pharmacy manager. He made me feel very relaxed. Asked questions such as: “tell me a bit about yourself”, “give me three examples of your strengths and weaknesses”, “what questions do you have for me?” The interview took about 30 minutes, it was in a separate, quiet room and I was told on the spot, at the end of the interview, that I was hired.
After the interview, I spent about 1 hour with the HR to do a saliva drug screen test and complete some paperwork and then told to wait about 1-2 weeks for my background check and come back for training. After about 2 weeks I called the HR to see if they got my background check, they said yes, and I came in to complete the computer orientation training, which took 7.5 hours (but you can divide it out in 2 or 3 days). Then I started working in the pharmacy.

Interview Question – Tell me three examples of your weaknesses.   View Answer

Negotiation Details – I wasn't able to negotiate because I felt so lucky to be hire. I also knew how much I will be paid from classmates who work there.

I was asked a few very general questions such as availability and then had to take a drug test right there in the office and submit to a background check and was told it would take a day or two for the results to be back but if they came back clear then I would be contacted to start training. This was the easiest and most laid back interview I had ever been to.
