Interviewed Feb 2012 (took a day)
I interviewed for the pharmacy technician position. I wore a grey suit and arrived 30 minutes early. I was cool, calmed and collected while I waited. There was another candidate there that interviewed before me. When it was my turn, I met the person that's over the pharmacy and the store manager. The first question of course was tell me about yourself. They thought my answer was a little short but I winged it by simple adding more with a little chuckle. The rest of the questions were based of the information on my resume as far as my educational info and work history. I was asked why I didn't go to pharmacy school right after I graduated from college. I also had to do a phone scenario with a customer as if I was filling their prescription. They said I did that perfectly and seemed pretty impressed with my interview as a whole.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Woonsocket, RI (took 3 weeks)
I applied for the position through the CVS website . I got a call from an HR person who did the initial phone screen.
I was set up for a group panel interview the following week. I was interviews by 3 people and the questions for the most park were very basic performance based and pertaining to my resume.
The individuals interviewing me were very impressed with my achievements and I was told that their senior manager would be calling me next week , since she was traveling the week I was interviewing.
I then received an email from HR to fill out an online application and some other requirements. I was asked my salary expectations and given a number and if I was offered the job would I accept that number.
I agreed and I was asked to wait for the call of the señor manager.
The following week I received an email saying that I was no longer being considered for the position, Then someone called me and said to disregard the email and that the manager would call to interview me the next day .
After one hour of this call I got a call again saying that the department had decided to pursue a different direction for this position and that I would not be interviewed again.
This all seemed very strange, but oh well ..stuff happens.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
When I walked into CVS, the atmosphere was busy, and I had to ask to speak to a manager. Once in the office the manager first asked what do I ask for in pay. Then he continued to tell his personal story and about the store.

Interviewed May 2010 in Miami, FL (took a day)
cvs only hires people that pass a test and then trains them. My interview was short I wasn't asked any questions at the time and when I was hired on the spot. I was given paperwork to sign and the manager told me I begin working next week. It was easy and simple.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Thibodaux, LA (took 1 week)
I applied online. About a week later I received a phone call for an interview. I went in and had a one on one with the store manager. She was very nice. My only concern was that i was going on vacation the next day and I knew they wanted someone immediately. Luckily they waited for me to return. Ive been working there ever since, and have since received a promotion!

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 3 days)
The store manager called me and asked me if I am intressted in a part time position as a cashier but not for the original location that I applied for online, instead of that 16 miles further away. I accepted it and got the interview only a cupple hours after his call.Once I was there the store manager puled out my online application and was going through the whole application sheet to make sure that he understood my answers and needs right. The interview lasted about an hour and it was realy plesant, because the store manager took all my excitement and worries away by his funny way of communicating. He started the background check on my way out and 3 days later he called me again and told me that I am hired as a part time cashier. At this point I have to say that before I got the interview I had my application put in at least a month before that and I did even forgot that I applied at the same time for a shift supervisor position.

Interviewed Apr 2009 (took 5 days)
I went in personally 2 or 3 times a week just to check in, even tho I knew they would not be hiring for a few months. I figured that if they saw me coming in regularly, they would assume I would also show up regularly for work. The personal interview was about an hour, and I was called back and hired after passing a drug and background check.
