I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Walgreens (Macomb, MI) in Jan 2014
Interview
After completing an application online (which is the only way you apply), you had to go into a store and complete the second step of the application which is a skills test that is performed on the computer. It asked basic mathematical questions, reading label questions, and general customer service questions. If you did well on that portion and your application matched what they were looking for, they called and set up a first interview. If you did well on the first interview, they would call for a second interview. At the end of my second interview, I was offered an hourly customer service associate position.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Name a time in which you changed your communication skills to help the person you were communicating with understand you better.
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
All they did was ask for my availability and where I see myself in the next 5 years. I received an offer the very same day, and started working the very next week.
