Rite Aid interview questions

I picked up an application in the store and returned it in the same week. About 2-3 days later, I received a call from the assistant manager to come pick up a code to complete an online survey/personality test. I was first considered non-competitive from the results of the survey. After 2 weeks from receiving the news, I was told that manager was able to change my status since they needed people ASAP. The interview itself was rather short, possibly because I gave a good impression to the assistant manager who gave me the code to the online survey. Both the manager and the assistant manager were in the room during the interview process, but it may not happen in your case. The drug test is based on random selection, so beware that you may be chosen to undertake it. My advice is to be yourself, and if try to think of potential questions that you can practice in front of a mirror over and over. Also, dress business casual for the interview and groom yourself. A good first impression is extremely important, especially when you are meeting the manager for the first time.

I was interviewed for 45 minutes. I was asked why I left my previous jobs, seems like they really care about why you left your previous employer and what was wrong with the previous employer. They ask you about your strengths and weaknesses. About a time when you praised a fellow co-worker and time when you told someone they weren't doing something right. How do you achieve your goals and where do you expect to be in the next 5 years or so. However, regardless of how many questions you are asked, the recruiter was the most boring person I have come across so far. I asked him a question regarding customer service and he showed me something posted on a wall next to me. So they don't really practice what they preach, it's just on paper and that's it. If you are looking to work for a company full of exciting people, Rite Aid is probably not the one for you.
