Do you have any questions for us?
This is a natural way to transition into your part of the interview to ask questions. If the employer doesn't open the door for you to ask questions, you want to ask them if you could ask a few questions. Having a list of at least 5-20 questions ready is expected for almost any pharmacist job interview. There are many questions you can ask and within many categories. Role-specific questions, salary and compensation, benefits, scheduling, PTO allowances, areas of expansion and concern, accreditation results, upcoming leadership or staffing changes, organization flowchart, relationships between staff, department goals, etc.
"Do you see any downsizing in the future? What is your management philosophy? What are the department goals for the next year? How does the scheduling work? How are the holidays staffed? What are some of the current leadership projects? How is the department morale? How do the pharmacists and technicians get along? What safety metrics do you track each month?"
Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Marcie's Feedback
This is a good question to ask because it shows that you have an interest in the interviewer themselves. Try to think of one or two more questions as well (having three lined up is perfect). Remember to ask thoughtful questions that show you're genuinely interested in the role but that aren't easily answered by a quick internet search. Good job!
