💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Why pharmacy?

What was the most interesting question?

I was asked several ethical questions. For instance, what if the town doctor came in and wrote his own prescription for a controlled drug, and you, as the independent community pharmacist, suspect drug abuse? What would you do, knowing the doctor has the capability of helping or harming your business?

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, mock interviews, talked to new pharmacy graduates about their experiences

What was the most difficult question?

No difficult questions; the interviewer really made me feel at ease.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was so nice, from the office staff to the students to the faculty. The students particularly impressed me -- they really helped to relieve my anxiety, which was a lot, and welcomed any questions.

What impressed you negatively?

Austin traffic, but that's just a minor thing, of course.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known more in-depth information about the school.
