The interviewer may not have had a chance to review your CV, so be prepared to answer a question relating to your education and experience as a pharmacy technician. Give an overview of your education and certification(s), as well as how many years you have been a pharmacy technician and what settings you have worked in before.

"I recently graduated with a BTEC Level 4 Diploma in Pharmaceutical Science, and I possess a current registration as a Pharmacy Technician with the General Pharmaceutical Council. While I have not worked formally in a pharmaceutical setting before, I do have three years of work experience at a local retail store in customer service while I attended University. I feel a lot of the skills I gained in that experience will transfer well and help me to be successful in this role."
"I have been a pharmacy technician for ten years, and during that time, I have worked in various settings including a community pharmacy for two years, a care home for four years, and a prison for four years, which is also where I currently work. Out of secondary school, I completed a programme in Pharmaceutical Science and am registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council."
