One of the job responsibilities of a Walgreens HR Generalist is to train employees and upper management. You will be responsible for conducting new employee orientations, staff training sessions, and advising upper management of policy changes that affect the company. The interviewer wants to determine your experience and qualifications in a teaching capacity to see if you will be a good fit for their company.

Focus on describing the number of years of experience you have training others and in what capacity. Explain if you have trained and mentored new employees, provided technical or non-technical training, or trained upper management in policy changes and new regulations affecting the company.

This question applies to training others while working as an HR Generalist. Avoid describing training others in a different capacity unless you are a new HR Generalist with no prior experience. If that is the case, you can use an experience where you trained others as a coach, a tutor, or new employees at a previous job.

"I have worked as an HR Generalist for the past five years and have mentored newly hired employees, university human resources students, and upper management on best practices. I feel very confident in my teaching capabilities and look forward to bringing those skills to Walgreens."
