I was hired 6 yrs ago and it was a pretty casual interview. I was initially just interviewing for a regular associate position as I was looking to just feel out the company before I made any decision to seek long term employment. The executive assistant that interviewed me was very nice and professional and stuck with the cookie cutter criteria, retail experience, healthcare knowledge, flexibility, what makes you a compliment / asset, and the good old "why Walgreens? ". With many yrs of retail under my belt and the added bonus I had taken some college courses that both included business and health, I immediately had a 2nd interview and was offered a position on the spot. I took a computer assessment before the actual interview ( a guideline for the best candidates that is also timed) and was called within 12 hrs for the interview itself. Mind you this was in '06 right before the economy went south. Within 9 months I went from cashier, to beauty, then to photo, all with an increase in pay (I have prior mgmt experience) and was encouraged to apply for MGT. This was pretty intimidating. I was put in an internal hiring pool in my district for naperville IL and the chances were slim. I sat in front of a panel of 3, my store mgr who also happened to be our now community leader, my DM, and another high respected store mgr from outside our district. DO DRESS TO IMPRESS! I cleared that one, but to my dismay, out of the whole hiring pool, nobody was selected due to the unforeseen economic crash we had just encountered. If your just looking for a regular position, you're pretty much a shoe in no matter what. If you're looking for something in a leadership position, dress to impress and really take an interest in what you're after.
