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.
