What impressed you positively?
Everyone was very nice. The interview was set up so that you could relax, be comfortable, and mostly be yourself! A question would be asked and we would each take turns answering it. It seem to really emphasize GROUP.
they seem to really like utilizing technology so all the classrooms are a wireless environment!
What impressed you negatively?
none of the administrators seem to be aware of the high crime rate in vallejo but i found out from the locals and a student that living outside of vallejo may be safer/better.
also, it's at least 15 min to find a place to eat.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
how truly this interview was going to be. you can't really prepare for it because the questions that were asked were geared towards what kind of person you are and not what you know about pharmacy. that's key. you may know a lot about pharmacy but know nothing about interpersonal skills.
What are your general comments?
i had an awesome first time interviewing experience! i had a lot of fun and enjoyed listening to my team mates share their thoughts. just be sure to smile a lot, be attentive to others as they're talking, and answer the question! i noticed a lot of people not really answering the question and talking around it.
