Talk about a time you received constructive feedback on your work. What did you learn from this situation that you can bring to the CVS Pharmacy team?
Feedback, no matter who it comes from, is essential for clinical education for a Pharmacist. Your interviewer poses this question to get a feel for your ability to take constructive criticism healthily and turn it into something positive.
"Early in my career, I was given feedback from a mentor that I wasn't taking enough time with individual customers when the pharmacy was busy. I didn't realize at the moment that I was doing more harm than good by trying to keep the traffic flowing, I thanked my mentor for the feedback and assured her that I would try to give each patient the time they deserved. I've taken this advice with me for the remainder of my career."
Before interviewing for a Pharmacist role at CVS Pharmacy, think back to a time your work received criticism during your career or pharmacy school. Demonstrate that you can take correction with a good attitude. Talk about how you listened, made changes, and respected the person's criticism.
