The interviewers want to know that you have a realistic idea of what your career will look like once you've completed the pharmacy program at the University of the Pacific. It's important to understand that you may not be exactly where you want to be immediately after graduating. Show the interviewers that you have a realistic understanding of what your day-to-day life will look like once you have graduated.

"I understand that my day-to-day responsibilities as a pharmacist include speaking with customers, helping them understand their dosages, and answering questions. I know it won't always be glamorous, and it can be physically taxing as there is a lot of standing during the day. With that said, I look forward to coaching my customers on proper drug use and dosages and creating lasting relationships with those in the community where I work."

You most likely understand a pharmacist's daily responsibilities at this point in your journey to becoming a pharmacist. If you do not know a pharmacist's duties, research online or visit a pharmacy and speak with a pharmacist before your interview.
