It is no secret that Pharmacists are subject to work-related stress and burnout in their work, and your interviewer is fully aware of this. They want to ensure that you are aware of the stresses of this job and that you take all measures possible to ensure your mental and physical health on the job and in your personal life as a Pharmacist.

"I feel very fortunate to have been a part of some studies related to Pharmacist burnout and have been interested in this subject since pharmacy school. While there are many reasons for stress and burnout among Pharmacists, one needs to know their triggers, and I certainly know mine. Having a work-life balance and ensuring my self-care outside of work keeps me stress-free and ready to rock for each shift."

We all have work stress, but how you handle it will say a lot about you as a person and as a Pharmacist. Let the interviewer know that you are stressed out, you sometimes take a walk, get a soda, and pick up where you left off five minutes later. Now is also a great time to talk about personal life outside of work and how that helps you refresh and recharge.
