How would your friends describe your personality?
Personality is described as the combination of characteristics and qualities that form an individual's distinctive character. The interviewers ask this question to see how your friends view you and what they would say makes you unique to see if you will be a good fit for the pharmacist role. It is best to use three to four words that your friends would use to describe your personality, with examples to show why they would describe you that way.
Avoid using terms the interviewers may deem unprofessional or irresponsible, such as boisterous, comical, obsessive, or stern. While these qualities may be acceptable in some positions, they are not fitting for a health and care position.
"My friends would describe me as giving, dependable, and honest. I am always giving my time volunteering or donating to charities or other causes close to my heart. My friends can always depend on me to do what I say I will do or to show up in the middle of the night if they call me and need help. I believe honesty is the best policy, and I do not tolerate dishonest or unethical people. My personality has helped me succeed as a pharmacist, gaining positive reviews from my professors, colleagues, managers, and patients alike."
