Why did you pursue a career as an HR Generalist?

Focus on giving your personal reason for choosing this career, responding with enthusiasm and passion. There is no right or wrong answer. The interviewer wants to gain insight into what motivates and inspires you as an HR Generalist to determine if you will be a good fit for Walgreens.

Avoid saying you pursued a career as an HR Generalist for the money and benefits. If you seem like you are only in this career for monetary reasons, the interviewer will feel you lack passion for the job.

"I chose to pursue a career as an HR Generalist after working in the retail industry for five years. I was happy working as a cashier, but I found human resources intriguing. I asked the HR Generalist with our company if she enjoyed her job, asked specifics about their work, and inquired about how to pursue this profession. After speaking to the HR Generalist that day, I decided to go back to school and obtain my Bachelor's Degree in Human Resources."
