What interested you in becoming a pharmacy technician?
The interviewer wants to learn more about why you chose a career as a pharmacy technician. This question is very personal, so briefly give the interviewer some insight into what motivated you to pursue becoming a pharmacy technician after secondary school. Perhaps you had an impactful experience with a pharmacist or pharmacy technician in the past, and that interaction led to your decision, or maybe you have family or friends who have chosen that career path, and they inspired you. If you have a unique story that led to your decision, feel free to share that and give a meaningful answer that demonstrates your passion for the field.
"When I was considering different career paths in secondary school, I explored various healthcare-related jobs. I found that the job market and demand for pharmacy techs were strong, that I would have many different opportunities in various settings, and I'd be able to work with a diverse population of customers. I was able to do so some job shadowing and quickly realized this was a career path I was interested in, and shortly after, I enrolled in University."
"I have always been passionate about helping others, and while I was interested in healthcare, I knew I didn't have the stomach to be a nurse or doctor as I don't do well with the sight of blood. I explored some non-clinical healthcare careers in my youth and found that I was drawn to medicine. I knew that working in a pharmacy would allow me to explore this area of interest, help keep patients safe, help meet their healthcare needs and make a difference in patients' lives, especially when they weren't feeling well."
