"While I have not had the opportunity to serve in a formal leadership role with a title, I bring great experience in leading pharmacy teams. I'm confident that my knowledge and five years of experience have prepared me to step up and take the lead at CVS Pharmacy. On any shift, I take the lead in opening up communications among the team, delegating duties as needed, and being a positive force that any staff member is comfortable approaching. I welcome questions and feedback from my colleagues and don't hesitate to give feedback."

Tell the interviewer about your ability to train others, take the initiative to solve problems, and listen to clients and other staff members. If you feel your leadership experience is limited or are a relatively new grad from pharmacy school, reflect on your education and interactions with clients and coworkers in your previous roles. Your willingness to take the lead shows you can be a strong leader as a Pharmacist with CVS Pharmacy.
