      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Walgreens in Oct 2019

      Interview

      It was super easy. They ask a few questions as in to why you want to pursue the field applied for. The only down side was that a uniform wasn't provided until my 3 week of being there.

      Pharmacy Technician Trainee Interview

      Mar 19, 2025
      Anonymous employee
      Louisville, KY
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Walgreens (Louisville, KY) in Mar 2025

      Interview

      Going in with no prior experience as a pharmacy tech and no prior experience in any related field. Interview lasted about 20 minutes. Pharmacy manager and her boss both interviewed me at the same time. Both had packets with a list of pre-written questions which they would select from, ask me, and then write notes on my responses. I was also told that if a question was too difficult, I could request a different question. Questions I was asked: "How do you handle conflicts in the workplace?" "Describe a time when you made a coworker or customer feel special." "Describe a time when you had to present a range of perspectives." This last question was pretty specific and kind of odd. I took a moment to think and came up with something that was good enough. They spent the rest of the interview telling me about the job and answering my questions, which I had written down beforehand in a notebook that I brought along. I asked them about insurance, benefits, PTO and opportunities for skill development and/or promotions in the future. They answered all my questions and I took notes on their responses. I definitely felt put on the spot by some of the questions and had to think on my feet, but the interview was conducted very professionally. I'm glad I prepared beforehand by thinking back on my experiences at my previous job. Definitely use the SBO method (situation, behavior, outcome) to prepare - Walgreens recommends this in "interview prep" material that they offer to interviewees beforehand.
