The phone interview should be the first step to see if they want to grant you an in-person interview. They would ask a lot of typical behavioral questions and why pharmacy, CVS.

Your responsibilities will be that of a technician while they train you to become a pharmacist for them and in terms of time it'll depend on you whether you can manage yourself.

I'm about to start as an intern hopefully soon.

Its all behavioral.
What would you do if you had a pt that didn't speak English?
What would you do if you had a tech that kept coming late/wouldn't do assigned tasks? Etc
I put all my answers in the context of prioritizing patient care when I interviewed a few years back.

Unless you're a psycho (and convey this on interview) you'll likely be hired. I wouldn't sweat it.

Wow, when I got hired there it was literally just : "which school do you go to? you're pre-pharm? when do you wanna start."

Cvs pharmacists are the bottom of the barrel from what I read on here, so what could they possibly expect from a student cvs pharmacist? Underneath the barrel...

first it was pharmacist intern, then student pharmacist, and now student pharmacist health intern. what the freak! hahh.

if you want to do well on the interview, go volunteer at a local cvs on a weekend and ask the pharmacist to introduce you to cvs pharmacy. learn about workflow and metrics.

I don't think you can volunteer at CVS.

If you don't get it this time it's fine you can always reapply later during your P1 year once you have connections. I applied before school and I guess they only wanted experienced interns/techs that time around. I eventually got in 2nd semester due to newly acquired inside/outside connections.

Keep us updated if you get it!
