I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Walgreens (Denver, CO) in Mar 2015
Interview
I don't think mine was a typical experience because I didn't really get an interview at all. I came in to take the assessment tests -- Walgreens has you psychically go into a store to finish assessments after your online application -- and aced all of them perfectly. Apparently that doesn't happen a lot, because the ASM who was there was impressed enough to hire me on the spot after a smattering of questions about my past work experience and what I wanted to accomplish. An outside drug test and a background check later, I started within 5 days.
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
