Tell me about yourself - Correct Answer Present: currently living in carmel and
working for Kroger as a floater pharmacist, just got engaged, have two pets

to pursue pharmacy and then Butler after the golf scholarship
future: ease into what you're looking to do next - and now I am finishing up my last
couple of rotations and looking forward to starting a career in pharmacy where i will
be able to create engaging interactions with patients
Why are you interested in working for this company? - Correct Answer Accredo: I
am a person who is always wanting to learn. I believe that the profession of
pharmacy is one that will always give the opportunity for growth of knowledge
because of the expanding access to novel therapies for rare diseases. I have family
members who have been affected by pancreatic, colon, lung, non-Hodgkin, and
breast cancer, my sister and her husband have been struggling with infertility for 3
years, and my close family friend is suffering from multiple sclerosis. Rare diseases
are no stranger to me in my personal life, and I want to work for a company that will
not only provide patients with easier access to these specialty medications, but also
will educate patients on drug safety, adherence, and administration of specialty
infused, inhaled, and injectable drugs.
I have also heard great things about your company from other pharmacists who
currently work for you, and I believe that this company cares about its employees as
much as they do their patients/clients. A company that puts their people first is a
company that I respect and admire.
What are 3 of your strengths? - Correct Answer 1. discipline - i am always
determined to get the job done and never have to be asked to continue on with a
project. I am constantly looking for ways I can help out at work
2. I have a thirst for knowledge - one of the reasons I chose the profession of
pharmacy is because of how much needs to be known in the profession about
medication and disease states. I love learning about new therapies, rare diseases,
and medications to treat not only humans but also animals. Studying was never
something I dreaded in school, i actually quite enjoyed it because of the opportunity
to expand my knowledge.I try to keep up to date with new guidelines, therapies,
articles, and also mental health.
3. communication skills - I love talking with patients and find that I am able to speak
with patients on a level that makes them feel important and understood. During my
, rotations at multiple different hospital systems, i was able to put patients at ease
during a time that may be frightening or stressful for them
what are 3 of your weaknesses? - Correct Answer 1. self-critical - i tend to have a
harsh inner critic in my head constantly telling me that the work i produce is not good
enough. I have learned this about myself throughout my time in school and on
rotations, and I believe that becuase I am now self-aware of my perfectionist
tendencies, I can quiet that inner critic in my head when need be.
2. people-pleaser - sometimes i want to help people so bad that I will do whatever is
needed to help their problem. I have started to realize this throughout my time at
Costco and the reality is that I cannot please everyone. Sometimes there are days
where I have to tell a patient "no", and although it may be difficult for me, I will know
that it will ultimately help out my coworkers.
3. New graduate (I lack experience) - I just graduated in May and was licensed in
late June. I have been working for Kroger as a pharmacist for only four months, but I
feel I have already learned so much about what it takes to be a pharmacist in this
pandemic. Although being a new graduate is seen as lacking experience, it can also
be turned into a strength when thinking about my eagerness to learn. Since I just
graduated, I am still in that pseudo-student mindset. I am constantly taking in new
information, learning from mistakes, and adapting to changing environments.
Because I just got out of the classroom and rotations, I believe my eagerness to
learn and my ability to learn quickly makes me a top candidate for this position.
tell me about an accomplishment you are most proud of - Correct Answer I am
most proud of graduating from pharmacy school. It is no secret that pharmacy
school is difficult, and to look back to where I was as a P1 and to where I am now, I
continue to be proud of myself. Being a pharmacist seemed so far away back then,
and now I have finally achieved my goals
what would you like to accomplish in the first 30/60/90 days on the job? - Correct
Answer 30 days - acclimating myself to the site and creating relationships with
employees
60 days - improving my skills with the computer system, learning as much as I can
about the rare disease states and therapies
90 days - becoming an expert on the specialty medications delivered at the
pharmacy, developing solid relationships with providers, patients, and coworkers
tell me how you have handled a difficult situation with a customer - Correct Answer
when working for Kroger, there was a woman who came in on a Sunday wanting to
get her flu shot and her shingrix at the same time. When she approached the
counter, there was no one else there or waiting on medication. I told her it would be
about 5 minutes or so to fill out the form and process the shot. As soon as she
started to fill out her form, a line of people formed at the register and the drive thru.
There were only two people working, myself and my technician. I was trying to
process her shots and check people out at the same time, and after about 15
minutes the woman became frustrated with me and began to raise her voice in front
