I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Walgreens (Oklahoma City, OK) in Jun 2011
Interview
I had applied for manager in training on the Walgreens website. I stopped in at a local store and was referred to managers on two opposite sides of town, and interviewed with both store managers, two days apart, one on one for a Store Team Lead position. A week later I then interviewed with another store manager, that is impossible to get a hold of in his own store, who is apparantly whom you have to appease to get to the district manager who is in charge of all the salary managers in the north half of Oklahoma City. I was one of twenty-or-so applicants he had to interview, and was supposedly leaving out of town for a week a few days after I saw him. So over a period of 2 weeks of leaving messeges and "stopping in" at a store that's 25 miles out of my way, I finally got an answer that I would be recieving something in the mail that would give me the instructions for my next steps in the hiring process. Never recieved anything.
The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Walgreens in Apr 2011
Interview
I walked-in every single walgreens in town to speak with pharmacy manager for the job opening. I got lucky and got called in the next day. Pharmacy manager and the store manager asked handful of questions to find out why I want the job, why I am the best candidate, previous experiences with customers etc. They told me in many times they'd hire potential pharmacy technician candidate as cashier to see if they are trustworthy.

I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Walgreens (Fresno, CA) in May 2011
Interview
There's five steps. Phone interview, 1 on 1 interview, skills test, and a drug test, and agreeing to some terms and policies. I applied online, this allows my application to be seen by everyone in the district I applied for so any manager looking to hiring someone could see my application. The supervisor of the intern program gave me a call and interviewed me in person. They were very nice and easy to talk to. Most of the questions related to leadership skills. The skills test also had a lot of situational questions.
