A self-development plan is incredibly important for anyone, regardless of their future profession. The interviewers want to know your plan and how attending Temple University will benefit that plan. If they are going to invest in you, they need to know that you also plan to invest in yourself.
Some ideas for self-development:
- Listening to inspiring podcasts
- Attending personal development workshops
- Spending time volunteering
- Finding a mentor
- Hiring a tutor
- Learning another language
- Reading books on self-growth

"I agree that self-development is crucial for continual growth and achievement. I am committed to investing in myself, and some ways I do this is by attending personal development workshops and meeting with my mentor monthly. I also plan on taking leadership courses and completing my continuing education hours once finished with the pharmacy program."

Since the interviewers ask for your self-development plan personally and professionally, be sure to answer both parts of the question. The interviewers want to see that your personal growth is as important to you as your professional growth, showing you have found a healthy work/life balance.
