When asked what skill you would like to improve in a job interview, you want to relate the skill to your job but not choose one essential to perform your job efficiently. For example, you would not want to say you need to improve your communication skills since that is a crucial skill to have as a pharmacist, especially with your experience. Instead, think about choosing one of these skills:
- Improve typing speed
- Become more knowledgeable with a particular computer program
- Feel more comfortable with public speaking
- Become more efficient with time-management
- Improve a specific technical skill
After identifying a skill you would like to improve, describe how you plan to improve it and why it is important to you to become more proficient in that skill.

"As a pharmacist, I want to become more proficient with Microsoft Excel. I understand the program's basic principles and can create usable spreadsheets, but I know there are many shortcuts and formulas that make the software more user-friendly. I purchased an online tutorial and plan to set aside half an hour a day to get through the class. The creator of the tutorial says by the end of the 16-hour class, I will be able to cut my time in half when creating and using spreadsheets by applying the shortcuts I will learn."
