What is your experience working in HR?
The interviewer asks this question to determine if you have the skills and experience they seek in an HR Generalist. On the job announcement, Walgreens will list their basic and preferred qualifications for the position. While the interviewer can read your application and resume, they want to hear from you what experience you have working in HR.
Focus on explaining how many years of experience you have and where you have previously worked. Describe your job responsibilities and how your skills and experience will benefit Walgreens if hired. If you have unique experiences or traits, be sure to highlight those in your response.
Avoid saying you have more experience working in HR than you do. The interviewer will call your references, and you do not want to be caught being untruthful.
"I have seven years of experience working in human resources at the San Francisco Fire Department and two years of experience working as an HR Generalist at CVS. My job responsibilities included employee relations, staffing and selection, handling complaints, and working with Labor Relations. I was also responsible for conducting exit interviews, resolving grievances, and the termination of employees. I am very familiar with applying the knowledge of Employment, ADA, and OSHA laws. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my skills and expertise to your amazing company."
