I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Walgreens (Champaign, IL) in Aug 2012
Interview
I had a friend who worked at the Walgreens on campus. She told me to apply online and the following day I went into the store to take the skills assessment test. Walgreens called me about 2-3 days later scheduling to interview me. I was hired the next day.
The interview was arranged over the phone months after I applied. The interview itself was the next day, in-person, and took only 15 minutes or so. I was interviewed by two people.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
-Availability
-Tell me about yourself
-One mistake I've made in prior jobs and how I addressed it
-How long is your commute
They took me to the office to ask why I was interested in the job and my qualifications. It was very short and was only about 6 questions. I was in high school at the time so they did ask about my studies and work time balance.
The Walgreens interview process was really easy—quick questions, relaxed vibe, and they mostly focused on availability and customer service. It didn’t feel stressful at all. it was over the phone as well
