First question was what do I do under pressure/stress-how do I handle it?

Was about the price of medicine. We started talking about why prescriptions are so expensive, should consumers have to pay for expensive prescriptions, and what is your response to someone who asks why medicinces are so high and cannot afford it.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Studied my application and prepared answers to questions that I might be asked about (grades/PCAT scores). Practice from job interviews, like why do you want this position, what are your strengths/weaknesses. I tried researching current pharmacy/health topics. But overall, Thank You SDN! I found an interview feedback the night before my interview and it really helped-I researched the essay topics and the questions the interviewers asked the applicants and the interview was a breeze!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I had a great experience. On the way to the interview on the hotel shuttle I met another interviewee, so that really helped calm some nerves having someone to talk to while waiting for the interview process. Like everyone says, just RELAX and be yourself, and you'll be fine. It's one of the 1st things the panel tells you when you go for your interview, and I really think they will get to see the real you and you'll find it easier to talk to them as well. I left the interview feeling Awesome, and that I aced it...I really was excited/relieved after the interview and didn't realize I was in there so long, it seemed like the interviewers wanted to talk some more, but held back some questions b/c there were more interviews after me. I hope this helps, and good luck to future applicants! See you there!
