The interviewer wants to hear that you have the qualities they are looking for in an HR Generalist. The interviewer asks this question to see what you believe are the top three skills needed to be excellent at your job. When you respond, the interviewer will determine that you have those skills yourself since you believe they are essential to your profession.

Focus on reviewing the job description before your interview and use three of the skills listed to describe Walgreen's ideal candidate. When you describe three skills needed as an HR Generalist mentioned in the job description, the interviewer will see that you have the qualities they are looking for. Be sure to say why these skills are essential to your profession.

Walgreens is particular in their job description of what they seek in a candidate, and you want to show the interviewer you have the skills they need. Avoid using skills not mentioned in the job description as your top three skills. If you describe other skills that the company is not looking for, they may pass you over for another candidate.

"After working as an HR Generalist for five years, I believe the top three skills one needs to be excellent at the job are communication, interpersonal, and problem-solving skills. Written and verbal communication is essential when writing reports, documenting complaints, and interviewing candidates and employees. HR Generalists should have exceptional interpersonal skills and work with diverse groups while solving any problems that may arise."
