Very informal. I suppose it will differ by site. Mostly concerned availability and any past research experience. I found my interviewer to be very easy going and enjoyed the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you have experience tracking and maintaining Balance on Hand (BoH) metrics for retail goods?
The process took 5 days. I interviewed at CVS Health (East Providence, RI) in Jan 2007
Interview
Interviews follow a script of situation and life experience based questions, followed by general Q&A and conversation based on the particular manager's style and needs. Process is different based on position, having interviewed for this company as well. I was interviewed by the Store Manager and had a follow up with another outgoing Store Manager that was still technically in-charge. For the front store you will sometimes just be interviewed by the Store Manager or but usually will be interviewed first by the Assistant Manager or as a group. Specialty positions (RX, Photo, Beauty) will usually have you interview with a department supervisor first or with the Store/Assistant Manager. Positive attention was payed to how I was dressed (shirt/tie and suit jacket) but emphasis will change with each Manager.
