I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Walgreens in Jan 2010
Interview
I went in for a twenty minute interview in late December. The manager commented on the fact that I wore heels while riding a bicycle to the interview. I talked to him a little about my work experience and my school experience. The store manager was the hiring manager. He explained the job would be full time, working 40 hours a week, with a preference for as little overtime as possible. He seemed very optimistic and kind. The interview was in the room that's hiding in the back of the photo department, where they keep the safe and the video recordings of cameras. After I was offered the job, I waited two weeks for the background check and for my drug test to come up negative. Then I was hired at the beginning of January.
