I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Walgreens (Miami, FL) in Jun 2008
Interview
I was job hunting after graduating college and my husband had a friend who was an EXA at walgreens. I was asked to come in ad fill out the application and assessment for the position. The process is such that after you fill out the application, depending on the district, you have to interview with at least 2 store managers and if they like you, they recommend you to the district manager who will finally make the decision to hire you. You go take the drug test, they run a background test, and once you pass, you go into the store and they offer you a wage, if you accept, then you continue to fill out the necessary employment paperwork and off you go.

Question 1
How willing and open are you in attending outside continuing education events to learn beyond the scope of your position?
I applied through college or university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Walgreens in Jul 2008
Interview
The interview consists of a series of questions. The questions asked are as follows.. Why do you choose our company? How do you think you can benefit Walgreens if you get hired? What are your short and long term goals with the company? How do you do with customer service? Are you good with working with people? How do you feel about working on nights and sometimes weekends? Are you able to multitask? The interview was conducted by one person only so it wasn't interogating. It was comfortable because you don't have a panel of people watching you. They will tell you if you got hired by the next day.
