I applied online. I interviewed at Safeway in Apr 2015
Interview
A pharmacy manager called me in a week after I applied online to have a phone interview. It was about half an hour long about my experience, some situation questions, and some basic pharmacy questions. After that, I got a face-to-face interview in a Safeway store in a week. This interview was also half an hour long and specifically asked for lots of pharmacy technician questions. These questions were mostly asked how I deal with difficult patients and insurance problems. Obviously you have to have at least some pharmacy technician experience to get this job.

It was an easy process. I met with the pharmacy manager. She was kind and helpful. Working with her was a different story though. There was alot of micromanagement. I hated working there. Alot of druggies would come and ask for different prescriptions
