After applying online and submitting my application to 5 local CVS locations, the store manager at one of them called me and set up the 1:1 interview. The 1:1 interview was a bit long and tedious, and many of the questions were nebulous but I had to give very specific answers and back up everything with detailed examples. This did not bother me so much. I was then able to meet the head pharmacist and members of the pharmacy crew. Most of the people that I met then have moved on and most of them been replaced. I then had to drive to a local urgent care center and submit to a urine drug test and wait for the results. After that, I watched all the CVS videos from the 90's that told me not to talk to people from unions, etc, and did many pages of training and contract-signing. I was lucky in that other techs were not allowed to participate in interviewing or hiring me, but often the pharmacist will bring a tech he is friends with to the interview to give his personal opinion.
