Very helpful tool :D

advice

Hello. I'm going to be talking to a manager at Walgreens sometime soon. He'd like to talk to me and possibly set up an interview. I'm writing to ask what kind of positions they would have to offer besides being a cashier, which is the obvious position. I've asked many people just so I can know some things ahead of time, but not many people know. I was hoping one of you atleast has worked at walgreens, or a store similar to it. I'm really wanting to work there, but I was wanting strictly a stock position. Putting things on shelves, organizing things on shelves, etc. Does anyone know if they would have a position like that? I think it would be really fun to do that, it'd go by fast, and I'd be good at that. I don't really wanna be working at a cashier handling money. If anyone can help me please let me know! Thank you so much!

Well, I was looking through the career opportunities at Walgreens and the kind of positions they have. I used this website: http://www.walgreens.com/marketing/about/careers/hourly/default.jsp

I think you might be interessted in working as a Service Clerk

Here is what they do:
As a Service Clerk, you provide friendly, courteous and efficient service to Walgreens customers. In addition, Service Clerks are responsible for:
Entering sales on the cash register and customer service
Merchandising, store inventory and product ordering
Maintaining store signage and displays

I know you said that you don't want to be on the register, but you can possibly request working towards the merchandising part of the job which includes taking care of inventory.

Learning a new skill is never harmful in the career world. They will most likely have you learn the register so when they need back-up you can lend a hand.

When you go to apply, mention how you would like to work more in the merchandising than at the cash register. However, if you really want the job then you may be asked to do both. Be open-minded at first.

Best of luck :D
