This question is for the employer to find out if you will be happy working in the position they have. This answer should be personal, heartfelt, and detailed. The employer does not want to hear standard responses like "I enjoy helping people." You want to take the answer a step further. This question is not about your performance, it is about how you feel about your career.

"I enjoy helping a patient understand how their medications treat their blood clots. I feel like I am playing an important role in keeping them out of the hospital."

"I enjoy teaching physicians about a new medication and how it can offer a different option than the patient had before. Providing education is really fulfilling."

Anonymous Answer

"The patient interactions and working with my health care team! I love being an accessible resource to my patients and my team members."

Rachelle's Feedback

These are excellent and heartfelt reasons to enjoy your work as a pharmacist. If you have a story to weave into this response - one that will highlight a memorable patient interaction, for instance, that would be a nice addition to your response.
