Mercury Drug Corporation Hiring Process


Location: Bagumbayan, Quezon City
How to get there? Go to Ali Mall Cubao. Ride Ever Rosario jeep, pay the minimum fare and get off to Mercury Avenue. Use the overpass.  Mercury Drug Corporation is the white low rise building. 

  1. Height and weight assessment. Minimum height requirement for boys is 5'4. 5'0 for girls. Must not be over or underweight. 
  2. Initial interview. Questions are only answerable by yes or no. This is such a speedy interview.
  3. Second interview. You will be asked the usual employment questions about yourself, previous jobs etc. If you do well, you will be given a list of requirements to be submitted on the day of the examination.
  4. Examination. Logic and clerical. Additional exam for technical positions such as Accounting clerk.
  5. Final interview. For cashier and pharmacy assistant, you will be interviewed by branch supervisor. For a position in the head office such as accounting clerk, you will undergo 6 interviews (all 6 interviews will be on the same day).
  6. Medical (the bad thing is you have to pay 650 for male, 750 for female, the additional 100 bucks is for the pregnancy test)
  7. Dental (only for branch positions)
  8. Background check (someone will go to your house and will conduct background interview, I suggest that you offer some meryenda. People who do the background checking have been in a number of houses throughout the day).
  9. For branch position: Orientation for 2 days and contract signing. This is usually on thursday and friday. Monday will be the start date.
  10. For head office position: contract signing and start date will be on the same day. 
Note: if you really made it, you will not be asked to wait for a call. You will be informed about the next step immediately. If you were asked to "wait for their call" it means you did not make it.

What I don't like in the process is that contract signing is in the last part. You will spend bucks (for the medical) and energy throughout the process without knowing how much you'll be paid. As for Mercury's s.o.p, you will be only considered for the job offer if you passed all the steps from #1 to #8.

    Hi! I don't know if this blog is still active. But I applied at MDC Head Office and is scheduled for Orientation. I understand that it is only until the contract signing do I get to know my salary. I am quite worried if it is worth it all the effort? I come from a province and will be living in Manila once hired, will I be getting a reasonable pay if I would work there. Can you give me an idea of salary range for a position in the head office?

    Hi! nagapply ako sa Mercury Drug last April 2016 pa. umabot ako ng second interview then nagexam na rin ako. Nung magpapsa na nag requirements, kinuha naman lahat ng requirements ko then sabi ng HR wait ko daw sched ng final interview. until now, August 2016 wala pa ding call. di pa ako nagfofollow up through call. Nakapagapply nako sa iba at nakapasok pero umalis din ako sa recent work ko due to personal matters. Tumawag sa akin ngayon yung pinsan ko na nagwowork sa Mercury Drug. ifollow up ko rin daw kasi 3months din daw inabot ng application niya. I will try na i-follow up sana okay pa din application ko :(

    Hi good day. Ask ko Lang po.I'm applying po for the position of Pharmacist at MDC.
    I already had the psychological exam and interview with HR personnel sa Head office.And also evaluation.Nakapagpasa na din requirements.
    And ayun po binigyan ako ng green form then sinabihan ako na wait for a call after 1 week.Kapag walang nareceive,means failed daw.
    Lampas 1 week na po kasi and wala pa call.Legit po talaga na failed na?
    Sabi po kasi ng mga kakilala kong pharmacist din,minsan matagal po talaga dw process ng papers sa HR.And need daw po talaga nila ng pharmacist kaya nageexpect po ako na matanggap.Pero
    Do I have to expect pa din po ba na matatanggap ako and wait pa din?or maghahanap na po akong ibang company 😐😔
    Thank you sa reply!

    Hi shade ko lang. Nagpasa ako ng online application ko sa MDC nung September 2020 then almost 1 week bago ako na ka receive ng email from them which was yung schedule ko for interview ( Dec. 7,2020.
    On December 7,2020 ,Natapos lahat ng interview from initial to final. After that, they gave me the list or requirements and schedule kung kelan ko ito isasubmit.
    Another day sa Mercury, Online Exam and then pagpasa ng mga requirements, pag merong kulang pababalikin ka until na complete mo yun. Pagkatapos,bibigyan ka ng Slip for Background Investigation, may pupunta sa bahay nyo. Tapos wait ng tawag after background check ( naghintay ako ng 3weeks)
    After 3 weeks, i received a call and then binigyan ako ng schedule kung kelan ako pupunta para kuhanin yung medical and dental form.
    Tatawag ka sa Clinic nila which is located sa Cainta. And it's up to you kung anong uunahin mo, dental or medical. And kahit saang dental clinic din yun. Sa ngayon, tapos na ko mag medical at dental, waiting nalang ako ng result nito.
    Again, shade ko lang po exp.ko��
