Entry Level Example
"Working in a pharmacy requires all members behind the counter to communicate frequently and work together to achieve common goals. As a new technician, I know I will have much to learn, so I'll keep an open mind and be receptive to information and feedback as I support the team. I'll communicate effectively by actively listening, repeating back instructions, and asking questions when necessary. I will bring a positive attitude to work every day, so that the work environment is enjoyable for others and will contribute to improved team morale and cohesion."

Experienced Example
"I know one of the core values of the NHS is working together for patients as they come first in everything you do. I closely align with this value and will live that out through collaboration and teamwork in the pharmacy. I'm very flexible and am willing to work any station or duties necessary to support the team. I'm always communicating with the team to see how others are feeling, and if they are overwhelmed, I try to help as best I can. If we have new team members, I'm happy to jump in and mentor them and help get them up to speed as part of our team."
