If eventually offered this role at CVS Pharmacy, would you have any salary expectations?

Overall, be open and honest. Transparency is the best choice when salary-based questions arise. For you, salary may not be the most crucial factor. In addition to compensation, there are many other factors in a fulfilling career. These other factors may include a solid work/life balance, a complete benefits package, a great work culture/environment, and an opportunity to grow in the future.

Before forming your answer, take your time to list the most important factors to you when considering a new job. Then, research the total compensation range that CVS Pharmacy typically offers for the job you are being considered for. You'll want to find answers to a few essential questions:

- How competitive is the job market for this role
- What's the market range for this kind of role in this industry
- Does compensation vary geographically
- Does CVS Pharmacy have a reputation for paying above-market value

When you deliver your compensation ask, lean on your skills and accomplishments as justification. It's compelling for a hiring manager to hear about your achievements vs. only saying that you're worth every penny because that's the going range in the industry. If you are providing the company with precise compensation numbers, offer a range so that you leave room to negotiate.

The average HireVue interview takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. This one-way video interview typically includes three to five questions. Depending on the hiring company's parameters, the HireVue platform will generally give you 30 seconds to prepare a response and up to two minutes to answer each question. It's important to note that HireVue stops recording as soon as your time limit is up, so it's better to run under time than overtime.
