Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

two of the three seemed very relaxed and upbeat, tended to laugh with my jokes and agree with what i said. they seemed to know that it was a stressful situation, and tried to lighten the mood. The 3rd interviewer seemed to be playing the "bad cop" role, but came around eventually

What are your general comments?

if you are a strong candidate and know about pharmacy, you dont need to be nervous - just go in and talk about yourself. think of it as a conversation rather than an interview. also be prepared to answer questions about weaknesses in your application - they will ask about them
