This was a video interview via Zoom. It was a quick and swift process for Safeway as they were in desperate need of pharmacists at the time.

Behavioral Technical Presentation Other
I applied online and also dropped off my resume at the store. The staff gave me the hiring coordinator's number. I called her, and after a quick look at my application, she decided to give me a phone interview right then, which lasted about 45 minutes. We went over my resume and past work, and she asked basic questions like the biggest challenge in my last job, how I'd deal with coworker issues, and my best and worst qualities. There were also a couple of situational questions. After that, the Regional Pharmacy Manager wanted to meet me in person. We met at the pharmacy and then went to a cafe for lunch and the interview. It was very relaxed. He talked a lot, then I talked about my experiences and future goals. About 30 minutes later, we went back for a pharmacy tour and to meet the other staff. I got a call that evening, about 3 hours later, with a job offer. The salary was really good, much better than I was paid on the East Coast.
