The interview and match process for Pharmacy Residency programs is competitive, with about 50% of candidates successfully matching each year. Your interviewers want to hear candidates discuss their own view of their strengths to help them determine who will be a great fit for their program.

"According to my Strengths Finders assessment, one of my top strengths is being an "achiever." As an achiever, I always want to make sure my work is done well and on time. This strength will help me as a resident because I know I'll be involved in many projects, and I'll be motivated to finish them promptly and accurately."

This is a good time to discuss a strength that would be beneficial for a resident (leadership, organization, empathy, etc.). You can also take the Gallup Strengths Finders assessment online for some tangible data and talking points. Be sure to talk about how the skill you discuss will benefit you as a resident and allow you to contribute to the program.
