The interviewer asks this question to see why you chose CVS over other companies. They want to hear that you have done your research on their company and can give clear reasons why you chose their organization.

Focus on showing the interviewer you have done your homework. It is best to describe what interests you about their internship program, how they have been rated, or how your values align with their mission statement. This question is similar to asking why you want to work for their company, which is asked to see how much you know about their organization.

Avoid saying that you are not only applying to the CVS Pharmacy Internship program and are looking for anyone who will hire you. Suppose the interviewer determines that you are applying to multiple companies and hoping for anyone to hire you. In that case, they may feel that you lack the motivation and inspiration to work with CVS solely.

"I chose CVS over other companies for an internship because your mission and values align with mine. I love that your mission is to improve the lives of those you serve while enhancing health. That is why I decided to pursue a career as a Pharmacist and want to be mentored by like-minded people."
