I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Walgreens (Auburn, WA) in Feb 2016
Interview
I applied online which was part 1 of pre-employment process. For the second part, you have the interview in which they ask you a set of questions that everyone is asked to make sure there is an equal opportunity for everyone to get the job. They're not supposed to elaborate or explain the question, you can take as much as you need to answer them. I assume there's a points-based system to determine how well you answered the question.They asked me about my availability and what I wanted to do in terms of my education since I was enrolled in school. As for the third part, you have to come back to the store, fill out some paper work by hand and online, and then they send you off to take a drug test. For me, it took two days for them to call back to tell me what my results were. When I got the call, we went over the dress code. No jeans and no leggings, no open-toed shoes, polos & button-ups.
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
