The Walgreens HR Generalist position has many job responsibilities. The interviewer asks this question to see if you have read the job description in its entirety and if there is any area where you would require training. If there is something you are not familiar with, it is best to research the topic before your interview. That way, you can mention that you will require training in a specific area but you can let the interviewer know you are proactive and investigating how to do it yourself.

First, review the job description before your interview. Then, highlight any area that you feel you may need on-the-job training. Be honest with the interviewer if there is an aspect of the job you are not familiar with. The interviewer would rather you be truthful so they know how to proceed with training if hired for the position.

If there is a job duty you are unfamiliar with, avoid telling the interviewer that you feel comfortable with all the job duties listed in the job description. If hired, it will become apparent to the interviewer that you were not truthful in the interview, which will not look favorable for you.

"I read the job description in its entirety, and the only aspect of the job where I would require training is on Walgreens policies and procedures. However, I assume that will be covered during the orientation. Other than that, I feel comfortable with all of the other job responsibilities listed."
