- During my time with Walgreens, I grew so much as a person. I held numerous positions within the store. I started as a cashier, took classes to become a certified pharmacy technician, and was promoted to assistant manager. The knowledge gained in my time with Walgreens made me a valuable asset to my team. I learned proficient planning and time management skills along with being able to provide excellent customer service. I can do anything that is asked of me, and if I cannot do something, I am willing to ask for help or learn a new skill.
