At CVS Pharmacy, customer service always comes first, and Pharmacists are the real tone setters in the pharmacy. The CVS customer expects to be greeted by helpful staff who do their best to help them find what they're looking for, and your interviewer needs to know that you would be willing to go the extra mile for their customers if you are hired as their next Pharmacist.

"During my early years as a Pharmacist in a small and privately owned community pharmacy, I learned the importance of going the extra mile for customers from my mentor and owner of the shop. We had a regular customer who was unable to walk but was still very proud to drive herself and her wheelchair to our store weekly. If I had time, I always offered to take her out the front door, help her in her vehicle and see that she made it away okay. Our conversations helped build a bond, and these are things I'm looking forward to in a community setting with CVS Pharmacy."
