Hey there 😁
Many congratulations on your offers! 🥳
Interviews can definitely feel stressful, and trust me, you’re not alone in that. I still get nervous before every job interview! But the fact that you’re preparing thoroughly and seeking advice shows you’re already on the right track.
Show that you’ve taken the time to learn about pharmacy as a field and the specific role or program you’re applying for. Balance this with your own individuality by reflecting on your passions, career goals, and what excites you about pharmacy. This combination of knowledge and personal insight can make a lasting impression.
Talk about the skills you already have that are relevant to pharmacy and what you’re eager to develop further. It’s also helpful to share your vision for the future, even if it’s just a general idea. And don't worry! It can change 😅 But this will demonstrate that you’ve put thought into your career path and are motivated to grow, while also leaving room for flexibility.
Be ready to answer some common interview questions. They will definitely ask about your reasons for choosing pharmacy, current skills, and plans for the future. You can even prepare a question for the interviewers. I learned through my experience that this leaves a strong positive impression. For example, you could ask about professional development opportunities or the organisation’s approach to mentoring new pharmacists. It shows that you’re ambitious, forward-thinking, and genuinely interested in the field.
Remember, the key is to show that you’re knowledgeable, passionate, and unique. You’ve got this!
I hope it was helpful 💪 Feel free to reach out if you have any questions 😉 You can also chat with me orother students directly through
