• Answer:

  Dress nice, shirt and tie if you are a guy, and something relatively equivalent professionally for a gal. (I am not a gal, so I know nothing of what that means, sorry.) As for what they will ask you: Tell me about yourself. (This is a wide open "question", but be prepared to give examples of how your personality and work ethic will make you a good employee.) Why do you want to work for CVS? (Your answer should have more to do with the values the company has rather than the values you have. Research this online before your interview. If you can almost quote from things off of their website, you'll sound really good, for example.) Where do you see yourself in 6 months, a year, 5 years? (Companies are more interested in people who will stay with the company for long periods of time rather than people who will hop from job to job. Better still if you want to make a career working for them.) What are your greatest strengths? (Pick something that will help the business.) What are your greatest weaknesses? (This is a trick question. Be prepared to answer how even your weaknesses will make you a better employee. My answer is usually something like this: "I get really frustrated when I see that I am working my butt off to do my work, and I look around and see my coworkers standing around talking doing nothing.") How would you handle difficult customers? (Never do anything to escalate the hostility of a situation.) Tell me about a difficult customer, and how you handled it. (Same as the previous question.) Tell me about a "favorite" customer. (Go out of your way to describe how you treat the most valued business commodity.) I hope this helps.
