What are your general comments?

"Good. I had two pharmacists interview me. I only somewhat bumbled one question (which was actually the one I was most prepared for - go figure!). All in all it went great! Good info for those still to interview this year: It appeared to me that the interviewers had a list of 25 or so possible questions in front of them. They will choose 5-6 off that list to ask you. Also other questions will be embedded as a second part to a question or feed off of your answers to their questions. Be as ready as you can but don't stress too much. Scan the Pacific SDN threads here in interview feedback and the SDN pre-pharmacy forum. Also prep for common school/job interview type questions." Report Response
