Can I ask when you got the interview invitation. I am still waiting to hear from them. I don't have exact answer for your question but i would read about things like Medicare Part D and current issues in pharmacy.
I got the invitation around the middle of January. When did you apply? I think they still looking at the application if you apply kind of late. Also, one of my friend who applied on September, way eariler than me never get anything yet. So, I really don't know how they select people for interview. One of my friend told me they select according to your last name in order. I don't know if this is true.
I know some of the real negative aspect for pharmacy, but I can not really say it in the interview.

On their website it says they will contact 1-3 weeks prior to the interview date. I know their next interview is Feb 9th. I applied in September have not heard from them yet. good luck with your interview....they want to check for your communication skills and how you process.

Interesting, what happened to the preferred "well-rounded" applicant ? Some applicants should reevaluate their desires and goals of becoming a pharmacist; so more qualified applicants can shine ! If you dont know why you're here then you shouldnt be here !
Students have been admitted into pharmacy school WITHOUT pharmacy experience. I don't agree with you telling people to re-evaluate their desires of becoming a pharmacist just because they don't have pharmacy experience. If you applied to SC, Western, SF, etc. you're going to be in shock to find how many students have been admitted into the program with ZERO pharmacy experience.

I wanted to become a pharmacist since I was ten. My father was a pharmacist with his own store in Hong Kong. I don't understand how you can judge people just because they don't have experience in pharmacy. How about the research experience that I did in UCLA and my BS degree in Biochemistry in UCLA. My goal is becoming a good pharmacist just like my dad and work actively in drug research in the future. Don't attack people when you don't even know them.
Just move on. I suggest you ask your dad since he is a pharmacist. He's a great resource to ask. Plus, you only have to name 1-2 negative things and expand on it. I got offended by that person's comment because people have different reasons why they are pursuing pharmacy. Heck I have pharmacy experience so I didn't take that comment personally but in reality, I know half a dozen people who have had NO pharmacy experience and got in.

Take it easy everyone
Patient comes into the pharmacy and tells you some serious health condition, will your response be to "take it easy?" Your comment to the OP was unacceptable.

We are all not in the pharmacy program yet so how are we suppose to know what we are going to do in the long-run. All we can do is show that we are capable and well informed. As for the owner of this thread, here is a lil something for you to think about, expatiate on it and you should be fine in your interview:

Man, we need to get something to de-escalate situations...
We need more WVU and Zpack conversations.

Dealing with insurance companies isn't fun
Dealing with the PBMs who like to make a profit by ramping up the drug cost while not passing along the savings to pharmacies sucks too.
Getting yelled at by people in a drive-through who think dispensing drugs should be as fast as making a Big Mac is unpleasant.
Dealing with patients, albeit the main goal for many aspiring pharmacists, can leave one banging on the door.

1. Drive Thru - I absolutely hate it...people think they can get their medications filled in 2-3 minutes. I had a customer pound on the glass because we were "too slow."
2. Transfer coupons - waste of time.

I'm sorry, but I'm way too lazy to change it. So you'll have to learn to love it and go buy some fries, along with a Family Guy DVD. 😎
