I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Walgreens (Phoenix, AZ) in Apr 2012
Interview
I applied online (without thinking) as a Beauty Advisor in 2012. I got a call in a few days for a personality test that had to be taken in any Walgreens store. It was mostly easy questions on how you deal with other people and how hard you work. I think the next day I was invited for a real interview and the manager was super nice and the interview was very short. I was asked why I wanted to work there but mostly it was very impersonal questions read from a list like "how do you deal with difficult people?" etc. I think there were only about 6 questions. I was called back for the job a few days later and had to take a drug test. Overall it was a very easy process and I was hired quickly. My only advice is to dress nicely, be friendly, and be eager to work there. My other piece of advice is don't plan on working at Walgreens forever unless you want to go into pharmacy because it's an awful job for so little pay, even after I worked nearly every department in the store.
Interview was 20 minutes and asked basic questions. Interviewer was very friendly and welcoming. They bring you into the office and ask all the basics. They ask about past jobs and why you want to work there.

Interview
I met with the Store Manager and Assistant Manager of the store, it was a typical interview. They asked about my work experience and my availability. There was also a drug test offsite (urine).
Quick and basic questions. Nothing extreme hired on the spot and started the following week. Very nice manager who interviewed. Wanted my history & work experience. Usually I’m pretty anxious during interviews but not this one.
