I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at CVS Health (Columbia, MD) in Jan 2015
Interview
I applied, and then a store called me back requesting for an interview. Very simple. For me personally, I think I waited around a week from the moment I submitted my interview to hear anything back from anybody.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Very brief. I was a current front store employee at the time of the interview so the pharmacist already could see that I had a good track record. The only questions I can recall are; why I wanted to be in the pharmacy, how many hours was I looking for, and what was my availability.
Online quiz of interactive situations and then standard ranking of personality traits, then phone interview with pharmacy manager about expectations and responsibilities and in person interview with manager on availability
