I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Walgreens (San Antonio, TX) in May 2014
Interview
I submitted the app online and selected many stores in my area. A week later, a manager called and asked if I'd come in for an interview. I met with the Store Manager in the back office. It was my mistake that I did not come with a printout with my resume. I expected to get some backlash for this. I did not; however, expect the Manager to have no prior knowledge of me what-so-ever. Since he wasn't prepared for me, I felt like I ended up asking him more questions. He was very friendly and nice. I just wish their was a little more structure. He then called me 2 days later for a second interview. I arrived to hear it was just a meeting to offer me the job. He then sent me to a drug screening and background check.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Why do you want to work for Walgreens? It is so basic but it completely caught me off guard. I just wanted to laugh and say 'because I need money and you were the first to call for an interview'.
2. Give me an example of your experience with a difficult customer.
3. Give me an example of how you have trained an employee on down time.
Then be prepared to ask them a lot of questions. They like to talk :)
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Walgreens in Oct 2010

Once applied online, you have to take a test in store. After about 72 hrs. you results will show if you a high/medium/low candidate. Then you will interview with the community leader of the store you hope to be hired to.
