I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Walgreens (Pensacola, FL) in Oct 2014
Interview
I applied online then practiced for the basic test before coming in to take it. It involves money handling, customer service, and attitudes. I called the Store Assistant Manager 2-3 days later and asked about my scores. He said I had passed everything with 'Highly Recommended'. As I had been laid off, I was persistent in getting a job, constantly stopping by to see if there were any openings. It paid off. 2 people were moving on so I was hired as one of the new people on the team.
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
