What are ways that you will deal with the daily stress that comes with being a pharmacist here at Walgreens?

"I do yoga each night with my wife and this helps me relieve work stress. I have found that by staying active and eating well, I'm able to manage the long hours and busy days as a pharmacist. When things got really stressful during the pandemic, checking in with colleagues on a daily basis and talking about our stresses really helps get a lot of weight off of the chest and I always try to foster those conversations with my team."

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 when stressed out, you sometimes just need a moment to walk away and get a soda and pick up where you left off five minutes later. Some other great stress management techniques to talk about include taking care of yourself with a great diet and exercise, staying connected with colleagues, and self-awareness for the signs of burnout like sleeplessness and depression.
