"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.
