Interviewed Aug 2008 (took a day)
A friend of mine left for pharmacy school and referred me to replace her. I met with the store manager and pharmacy manager and had a 2 on 1 interview. They said my friend was a great employee so her referral weighed alot to them. My interview process was probably different from other people.

Must take several basic mathematical and comprehensive test during initial interview process. Most everything in done electronically from the application to the initial testing. Once you pass their "skills" test you are then given a personal interview. This was mostly oriented toward customer service experience and ability and willingness to learn strict company policy.

Interviewed Feb 2009 in Florence, KY (took a day)
My interview was actually pretty simple, I simply went in the store in South Carolina, met with the store manager. From that point I spoke with the Pharmacy Manager she was very helpful throught the entire process of getting hired. Other than that it was a pretty simple easy interview.

Interviewed Jan 2007 in Teaneck, NJ (took a day)
I worked at another walgreens store as pharmacy technician. I moved called up stores in the area and one was hiring a pharmacy cashier it was the same pay so I accepted the position. After two weeks the manager fired the person who was in that position before me because I took his place. I thought it was kind of messed up cause he needed the job more than me I was just a college student. But I was a much better cashier than him.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in San Mateo, CA (took a day)
applied online, went to a nearby walgreens to finish up the second part of the interview, which was the assessment test. Consisted of general knowledge of conversions, reading rx, and identifying the generic names of different drugs. Got a call from the district manager a week later and came into a one on one interview. Asked general questions and I had to do another test with conversions, pharmaceutical terms, and naming the generic brands.
