Supply Chain
All applications begin with an online application form, which follows the same basic format, although the questions will vary from role to role. Successful candidates will then be invited to complete a number of skills assessments.
Those that are successful may, depending on the role, be invited to attend a telephone interview, or alternatively an in-person interview in the store.
As you’d expect from a company as large as Walgreens, competition for roles is fierce. Candidates need to ensure that they are happy to work in line with the company’s values, and promote and exemplify the high quality customer and community service that Walgreens prides itself on.
Walgreens online application form
The online application form requires you to create an account on the Walgreens website and then provide basic personal details (with the exception of age) as well as academic qualifications and relevant work experience or employment. The application form also sets out expectations for performance, which includes customer service and attendance.
Walgreens Aptitude Tests
Successful candidates can then expect to carry out a number of skills assessments. The exact tests will vary from role to role, but are likely to include one or more of the tests covered below.
You should ensure that you prepare for these tests in advance, so you stand the best chance of doing well and securing your place in the final stage of the application process.
Walgreens personality test
By ascertaining the personality type of the candidate, Walgreens can match this with other psychometric test results and the interviews, to make better decisions about who might thrive and perform well in the specific role.
Personality tests use multiple-choice questions in response to scenarios to understand your communication style, levels of empathy, and also understand how you might react in particular situations that you might encounter in the role.
It’s better to try not to second-guess what Walgreens might be looking for, save to remember how key customer service is.
Walgreens verbal reasoning test
Verbal reasoning tests consider your ability to understand the written word and usually take the form of a series of written passages, following on from which you are asked a series of questions to which you select the most or least likely response from a choice of statements.
There are sometimes no ‘right’ answers, so you will need to make a judgment as to which is the ‘best’ or ‘most’ likely.
No additional knowledge is needed for verbal reasoning tests, as everything is contained within the written passages, but you will need to practice taking verbal reasoning tests so that you are familiar with the format.
Walgreens numerical reasoning test
Numerical reasoning tests consider your basic mathematical skills and therefore it is always a good idea to revise your high-school knowledge, including fractions, percentages and so on.
Numerical reasoning tests will present a number of mathematical scenarios, in the form of graphs, charts, diagrams and patterns, and then pose a question with a multiple choice of answers, from which you will need to select the correct option.
Some of these can be worked out roughly, i.e. by eliminating the wrong answers. Others will require an element of arithmetic, so it is best to be prepared by practicing in advance.
Walgreens situational judgement test
Situational judgement tests are based around real workplace examples that reflect the role you have applied and the level at which you will be expected to operate, and ascertain how you might react.
The scenarios may be videos with real actors, or they may be animated, or you could be presented with a written passage. In each one, you will then have to decide how you would deal with the scenario by selecting the most – and/or least – appropriate course of action.
The scenarios will be dependent on the role, so, for example, in any customer-facing role you’d expect to have anecdotes involving customers, issues with other members of staff, and you may also find questions in relation to issues such as bribery or falsifying documents.
Walgreens in-store interview
Successful candidates are then invited to attend an interview. If it’s for a role in one of Walgreens’ stores, this will usually be conducted in the store in which you would expect to work.
This interview will be based on both your application form and you may also be required to bring along your resume for discussion. Make sure that you are familiar with all the details that you submitted in your application form, and that you have prepared suitable examples from your previous workplace experience – or other relevant roles – to adequately demonstrate your suitability for the role, as per the job description.
Remind yourself of the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) technique for each of your examples, so that you are able to respond confidently and without too many long pauses to think.
In an interview such as Walgreens, you would expect to be asked about customer service and community care, or a focus on health, so make sure that you have relevant examples to hand where you can demonstrate an action and result.
