QUESTION 7 OF 40

What do you feel is the single most important quality a pharmacist should possess?

The interviewer wants to see that you have some insight into the desired qualities and characteristics of a pharmacist. This question is an opportunity to give a unique answer, so try to dig deeper than 'good communicator' or 'strong attention to detail.'

Here are some ideas for you:

- Unrelenting drive
- Desire for improvement
- Accountability
- Patience and Fortitude
- Integrity
- Optimism
- Self Confidence

"I believe the most important quality for a pharmacist to possess is integrity. A pharmacist with integrity always puts their patients and customers first. They will relentlessly ensure proper care and dosing for all and that their patients receive the best drug options available. Integrity is essential, so I am actively working on increasing my integrity level in various personal and professional situations. I show integrity by keeping my appointments and commitments and fulfilling my promises."

This is a tough question, as there are many qualities a pharmacist should possess. However, you must choose one. Describe what you feel is a pharmacist's most desirable trait and why.
