Tell me about your education.
The interviewer asks this question to determine if you have the education needed to perform your job as a Walgreens HR Generalist. They want to hear if you have a bachelor's degree or the on-the-job training required to work in this position.
Focus on describing your education as it relates to the position. Most Walgreens HR Generalist jobs require a minimum of a bachelor's degree or a high school diploma or GED and work experience to apply for the position. You most likely have the necessary education and credentials, or you would not be invited to an interview. Assure the interviewer you have the required qualifications for the position.
Suppose the job announcement says Walgreens is looking for an HR Generalist with a bachelor's degree in any subject or a high school diploma or GED plus 3 to 5 years of work experience in human resources. In that case, you want to have your high school diploma, GED, or bachelor's degree before applying to the position. You want to avoid not having the education required for the job. If you do not meet Walgreens' requirements, you will be disqualified as a candidate.
