      Certified Pharmacy Technician Interview

      Jul 12, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      San Diego, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (San Diego, CA) in Jun 2016

      Interview

      I summited my application on June 1, 2016. I immediately contacted the pharmacy manager to let them know I dropped in my resume, and I am really interested in the position. Gave them 2 weeks and called to check on them on the June 14, 2016. I talked to another manager, and he asked me to come to the next day for the interview. The interview started with 10 questions test which I needed to answer on paper. It was about sig code, general retail pharmacy knowledge, drugs (generic/brand), calculation...etc. Then I had panel interview with one pharmacy manager and pharmacy intern. They were the nicest interviewees I have ever talked to. Very simple read off basic questions. I was being myself as much as I can while maintaining very bubbly. They like how I smile a lot because, to them, customer service is very important. Then they told me to step outside while they discuss. Five minutes later, the pharmacy intern came out and told me that they really like me during the interview, and he walked me to the warehouse manager where I had my second interview. It wasn't panel anymore. It was the one on one. While letting me know that obtaining a full time position at Costco is very hard, let alone be a full time position in the pharmacy, the warehouse manager offered me the full time position on the spot that same day with my drug test and background check. He even asked if I had a vacation planned (how did I find out!!!), which I actually did, so he can approve those days as well. How nice can Costco employees can be! I started a week after with 4.5 hours of paid orientation. I am now working full time. So happy and blessed to work for this company. Overall, I think being friendly, caring and smily are what catching their attention. ALL ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE!

      Certified Pharmacy Technician Interview

      May 14, 2019
      Anonymous employee
      Houston, TX
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Houston, TX)

      Interview

      Nearby Costco had an open position for a pharmacy technician so I applied. A couple of days later, I had a phone interview with one of the associate store managers. He then invited me to another interview with him and the Pharmacy Manager. When I went up there they discussed the values at Costco, the roles of a technician at Costco, and my experiences. It was a pleasant interview. I got a call a couple of days after that from the same assistant store manager, asking if I wanted to meet the GM (which basically mean I got the job). Met with him and was hired. Took a mouth swab drug test and did all of my stuff with HR.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They ask you about your experience. They ask you about strengths and weaknesses. They ask you about what you know about Costco and why you want to work there.

      Certified Pharmacy Technician Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale

      Interview

      They called me. I then went to the store. They asked me some questions. I answered them in splendid fashion. They offered me money in exchange for my services. It would have cost $6000 dollars to buy health insurance for the 3 months I wouldn't have benefits after I started. I had to decline.
