I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Walgreens in Aug 2011
Interview
I did my application online and called the store the next day to check the status of my application. The manager invited me to the store the same day to complete the other half of the skills/personality test. I was invited back 2 days later for an interview at 3pm. The interview was easy and they asked me a few questions about my past work experience. Even though the interview went pretty well the two people that were interviewing me kept leaving the room for some unknown reason and the interview was held in the break room and the other employees kept coming into the room during my interview making me very nervous. After the interview the manager went on to tell me about the scheduling process and how much I would be paid an hour. The manager then went on to tell me that they would contact me within a few days with their decision. After waiting a few days I decided to call myself and was told that he had already sent the new hires down to the clinic for a drug test. I did not get the job and this interviewing experience taught me that I can’t just go by how friendly the interviewer was or how well the interview went.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time where you double checked someone else's work?
Simple and quick, just asking for previous experience. All other questions were pretty much related to interpersonal communication, as well as a couple "would you be willing to cover other roles if needed"
Easy, they ask questions and expect genuine answers. Had 2 interviews and they went very well. I was asked about previous experience which I didn’t have but they were understanding of that
The interview process was straightforward and efficient, with easy, clear questions that required minimal extra preparation. I also appreciated how promptly the interview was scheduled and conducted, which made the overall experience smooth and respectful of my time.
