How did you prepare for the interview?

Meeting with Pharmacists in my hometown, learning about new issues in Pharmacy, doing mock-interviews with friends, talking to previous students about possible questions.

What impressed you positively?

Very comfortable atmosphere, you were only nervous/uncomfortable if you made yourself that way. Very easy layout for the interview, no trick questions.

What impressed you negatively?

No feedback given when interview was completed, even if asked by applicant.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Showing up extremely early and hearing the same joke over and over gets annoying before your interview.

What are your general comments?

Very positive, great atmosphere and the interview teams are really well put together. They're there because they want to be and it makes everybody more comfortable.
