QUESTION 27 OF 35

How did you hear about this position?

The interviewer wants to know how you heard about the position. Companies invest a lot of money in advertising their job openings. The interviewer wants to hear what methods are effective and which are not. They also want to hear if an employee of their agency referred you. Describe how you heard about the position, and be sure to give the name of the employee or recruiter who referred you if applicable.

Be concise in your response, focusing on describing the recruiter's name, the website where Walgreens posted the job, the company's website, or an employee referral. Whether you pursued the position through a recruiter, Glassdoor, or their website, showcase the research you've performed on their website through your familiarity with their job search on their site, "Discovering new opportunities and new purpose. That's a win. Take a look at our job postings to find opportunities that fit your career goals. And be sure to sign up for job alerts, so you're one of the first to know when a new position becomes available."

You want to avoid forgetting where you heard about the position. Suppose you cannot remember where you learned about the job opening. In that case, the interviewer will determine that you do not pay attention to detail and might be applying to many other positions.

"I saw this position posted on your website when searching for customer service jobs at Walgreens."

"I know someone who works for Walgreens, and they love working here. Her name is Joan Crawford. I don't know if you know her. But she loves working here and said I should apply. So I went to your site and applied through there."
