I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Walgreens (New York, NY) in May 2024
Interview
Applied online and completed some communication and math skills tests. They scheduled my interview over the phone but the actual interview was in person.
The interview was very focused on situational questions (describe a time when you...). I used stories from not just pharmacy and they enjoyed that. Don't be afraid to spend a minute thinking, but also sound confident and try not to stumble through the stories.
Not a ton of questions on actual pharmacy abilities, mostly just availability. I got the offer later in the week and started a week after that.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Describe a time where you had conflict with a peer and how did you handle it.
Focused on customer oriented skills - desired you to have a PTCB certification - interview itself was very minimal, more just basic questions about yourself and it seemed like you were going to get hired from the start even without the interview.
It took 15 minutes, went very smoothly as the person interviewing me made sure I was comfortable and it was not awkward. I recommend working here if you are a student looking for part time work
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you work with customers/patients in a difficult situation
The interview process was quick and to the point. Expectations were set. However manager was trying to sway me on a different position than what I was applying for leaning more towards the beauty counter just because I was a female.
