I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Walgreens in Dec 2018
Interview
I had a total of three interviews: two of which were phone interviews (one with store manager and one with district manager) and the last one was in-person with the regional healthcare supervisor. All three interviews were enjoyable as far as interviews go. Everyone was very personable and tried to make me comfortable so that I may answer to the best of my ability.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All were behavioral questions ("Tell me about a time when you went above and beyond for a customer, Tell me about a time when you had to embrace change to overcome an obstacle")
Was able to schedule my interviews quickly and they were very responsive to emails. They asked very basic questions about your background as well as your motivations for applying. The recruiters were very nice and easy to talk to.
There were behavior based interview questions, tell me about yourself, strengths and weaknesses. Usually with a pharmacy and store manager. Maybe with a district manager. A tour is given if interview is in person.
Interview process was really easy - they ask basic questions for any normal pharmacist job and a routine screening. I worked at Walgreens as an intern for most of my college years so there wasn't much additional screening for hiring as a pharmacist.
