The interviewer wants to hear about your greatest strength as a pharmacy student to determine if you have the qualities they are looking for in an intern. If you review the CVS Pharmacy Internship website, you will see many keywords they use to describe what they seek in an intern. Then, choose one of those keywords that you have identified as your greatest strength, showing the interviewer that you have the characteristics they are looking for.

Suppose the job CVS website says the company seeks the best and brightest pharmacy students with strong communication, customer service, and leadership skills. In that case, describe your greatest strength as either your intelligence or your communication, customer service, or leadership skills. Focus on using a keyword on the website so the interviewer can see that you have one of the qualities they are looking for in their ideal candidate.

The CVS Pharmacy Internship website uses several keywords to describe the qualities they are looking for in their ideal intern. Avoid using a strength not related to a pharmacy intern or listed on their website. The interviewer wants to hear that your strength is a quality they seek in a candidate and that you will benefit the company if hired.

"My greatest strength as a pharmacy student is my communication skills. I have excellent written and verbal communication skills and can converse with diverse groups and cultures. I speak three languages fluently, which helps me communicate with a wider range of people."
