I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Walgreens in Feb 2008
Interview
I was working as an intern in another state. The district manager in my former state contacted the district manager at my current location and from there we exchanged e-mails with a resume. I then traveled to the new location and had a one on one informal interview with the district manager. It was in a restaurant and was more to get to know each other since I was already made an offer. Good experience over all.
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.
