I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Walgreens (Paterson, NJ) in Jun 2013
Interview
District manager did the interview while a student sat in, held in the district offices. Applied online, received answer in a couple weeks. The interview was laid back, it was to gauge your willingness to learn and improve. Was asked if I preferred to work in a specific store (which I did), and it was lucky that the store just so happened to need an intern. Overall, the interview was a very professional, but not too stressful experience. There are definitely expectations in case of apparel and presentation.

Question 1
What are the most important traits of a good pharmacist?
Very easy and straightforward. The questions move in a fluid manner. While mostly behavioral, there are a select number of technical questions. Big on unfamiliarity. It was performed as a panel all asking different questions.

Why Walgreens?
What experience do you have presenting findings to a professor/client?
