I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Walgreens in Oct 2014
Interview
The interview took place at a school career fair in the midwest. Several companies were present and all you had to do to qualify for an interview was to simply sign up for a time slot. I interviewed with one person, a pharmacy (district) supervisor. The interviewer followed a structured set of question and none of the questions was unexpected. These are the questions I remember:
Tell me a little bit about yourself.
Why Walgreens? (I had researched the company very well and was able to state how many stores Walgreens has and how it is redefining health care.)
Tell me about a time when you improved a process.
Tell me about a time when you engaged a team to complete a project.
Tell me about a time when you made a difference in a patient's life.
Tell me about a time when you faced conflict with a coworker and how you handled the situation.
The interview was not hard but be ready to answer these questions on the spot with a specific example OR to create a scenario on the spot.
I was told that everyone would hear *yay* or *nay* within a month or so.
My experience was overall positive except for not hearing a final answer.
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.
