Many hiring managers will choose one candidate over another because of their volunteer experience. They feel that it shows strong character and selflessness - all qualities that make a great employee. Talk to the interviewer about your willingness to give back to your community in some form of volunteerism. If you do not have formal volunteer experience, you can draw on things you do in your spare time to assist friends, family, or even your current employer.

The interviewer wants to hear about contributions you have made to the community in any form. If you have volunteered specifically in a manner related to your role as a pharmacy student, focus on describing the projects you have contributed to. If your volunteer experience does not include work-related contributions, that is fine. Any volunteer work shows excellent character.

If you do not have volunteer experience, avoid saying that you do. The interviewer may ask for a letter of recommendation from the volunteer coordinator or for a phone number they can call for a reference. You will not be disqualified as a candidate for not having volunteer experience, but you will be if you are dishonest in your interview.

"I have not formally volunteered due to my school schedule in recent years. However, I spend a lot of time helping my brother, who is a single dad after losing his girlfriend in a vehicle accident. I will babysit on weekends, cook dinners for him and my nephew, and drive my nephew to appointments when necessary. I feel that it is essential to take care of my family's needs."
