💬 Interview Questions ▼

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell me about a difficult situation you had while working at a retail chain (as I did)? How did you handel it? This is a typical question. They want to see how you did in a stressful situation...prepare a good answer for this one in advance.

None really, just prepare your basic ones such as: Your best qualities What sets you apart from other studnets (you could clump these two together). Why Pharmacy. I did most of the talking. They asked a few questions, it was easy for them.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone is nice. New facilities. Interviews were really chill, a bit too chill..... Alot of chain resutants from sphagetti factory to marie calendars to outback steakhouse to taco bell..etc. There is something to eat for everyone here.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really. Just remember, stockton isnt the best area in the world but its better than Compton or Inglewood. Its not that bad- this is of course coming from a 6'2" 210 lbs male. Judge it yourself it isnt that bad. Oh yeah, and if you are guy.....brace yourself, females there are not very pretty.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

United Airlins SUCKS! Avoid them. We were grounded at LAX, sitting on the plane on the way back because they couldnt find a gate to connect to the airport WTF?!! Eat a LIGHT meal before you go. The interview takes 3.5-4hrs, plan your flight accordingly- I know its hard to change when you get a travel pakcage from expedia but....understand that it really does take about 1 hour going back North to Sacramento on the five. Just pay the few extra measly dollars and stay at the Radisson. Its worth it. DO NOT stay at Vagbaund inn. Stay at a hotel. La-Quinta Suites is very close (1 exit) from the school. My motel was two exits from it and was ghe-tto.
