Pharmacists must be prepared to handle things that are out of their control, so being adaptable is very important. This holds true during Pharmacy Residency training as well. Your interviewers ask this question to understand how you would handle the day-to-day changes that are part of training as a resident in their program.

"I'm someone who likes change. I seek out new challenges, and I tend to get bored if things are the same every day. For example, I rearrange my living room every few months just to change things up. I know that in residency training, things change all the time. I believe I'm adaptable and can handle it, as long as I can ask questions along the way. I will thrive in residency because change energizes me."

Ideally, you want to paint a picture of your ability to "roll with changes" in the pharmacy easily and demonstrate that you can thrive in a dynamic environment. To do this, try to highlight your awareness on the job, your attention to detail and critical thinking skills, your collaboration skills, and your open mindset toward handling anything that comes your way.
