I finished my Walgreens application in early march. At the end of March I assumed I wasn't going to get hired, but I did finally get a call back asking me if I was still looking for a job. They called me in for an interview pretty much the next day in the afternoon. Took no more than an hour basically about my experiences with customer service and dealing with certain situations. They ask stuff like "Describe an experience you went out of your way for someone. Doesn't have to be work related." Another one "Describe a time where you couldn't understand anything at all what the other person was saying." It seemed to be they didn't really care about your actual job experience, but it was more about your actual personality. Come up with some clever answers to their questions. You could use school and real life experiences to explain what you can offer the company, positive attitude, and smiling a lot is what they are looking for. Interview was Friday and over the weekend and on Monday I've received a call back offering a position as service clerk. So, if you don't get a call back the next day, there's a very very low chance they are going to hire you, but its after the 3rd day I would consider yourself actually passed over. When they want to hire someone they usually want them working asap. Bit of a warning, training is almost nonexistent at Walgreens. You get a 10 min rundown on register and basically left on your own. Be prepared to start checking out actual customers on your first day of work. It can be stressful if you've never done it before like me. Just be polite and apologize to customers and most will be patient with you. Working at Walgreens all depends where you work at. Busy Walgreens are a whole another ballpark compared to a slow walgreens. So your mileage may vary from store to store. Good luck!

The interview process begins with a discussion with the manager to understand the role and expectations, followed by an interview that focuses on the candidate’s previous experience and its relevance to the position.
