If you are in competition with others for the pharmacist position at Walgreens, your interviewer needs to consider who they can afford if there is a tough decision for them following the interview process. This question allows your interviewer to gauge if their salary structure meets your needs.

"First and foremost, this career move for me isn't based on salary. I'm looking to practice with a reputable company like Walgreens. I currently am salaried at 105,000 annually and of course, I would consider an entire benefits package as part of any offer I were lucky enough to receive."

To prepare for this interview question, do your homework and find out what the average salary is at Walgreens for their pharmacist. Remember this is just the first interview and you haven't been offered the job yet. The first interview is not the time to enter negotiations. Go ahead and give a broad salary range without selling yourself short. You want to be honest with both yourself and your interviewer as you answer while not pricing yourself out of the role.
