What questions to ask at the end of an interview.

[Ethio_25]

I guess the title says it all, but what questions did you guys ask at the end of your interviews? I have my interview coming up soon and I would appreciate any suggestions.

I have only thought of one so far

Do you validate parking?

Here are some previously posted forums on this discussion. Good luck at the interview!

I think I really want to be a Pharm professor so I can get on the adcom and become an interviewer . Respect, fear, intimidation,. . . the power!

Read the thread links discussed above and you should be fine. I would have a question or two in my head so that it gives you a chance to "control the ball" so to speak. We are going to be answering and asking plenty of questions in our future profession so don't be shy 🙂 . I was really lucky to have nice, calming interviewers every time (except one really strange student interviewer in a one on one student interview- but I got in so I guess it was okay). I am hoping you get great people as well .

I asked what was their opinion about students taking forgivable loans from large chain stores like CVS or Walgreens. Also, I think it is good to ask questions about any of the academic aspects of the school you are unsure about. You have to have done a bit of homework for this, but one question I asked was how did the school handle teaching about OTC items, since I noticed from looking in their course listing that they did not have a separate class for OTCs like some other pharmacy schools do. That was a question of real interest to me since I want to do retail, plus it was a signal to the interviewer that I was actively comparing his school against others and I had paid attention to what his school's course requirements were. I'm sure you could think up other variations - the idea is to ask more than a yes/no questions.

I asked student interviewer about their schedule - did they like it, or not, how much time they spent on campus, that sort of thing.

Maybe this will help.
- How many students admitted and how many making through the program?
- What type of job graduates accept, not including retail or hospital?
- Do professors available outside of the classroom, do they have help hours?
- What kind of residency work available? What fields of pharmacy are graduates specilizing in?
- I read about several organizations. I would like to know what kind of activities they participate in?
And some stupid questions like, where is the library, what kind of software students use for pda and so on.

my questions mainly revolved around prof availability, and student interactions and thing of that nature, the social aspect of the school

such questions are another chance to sell yourself as a pharm candidate. its all good to ask some generic questions that show you have interest in the program, but also ask questions that are personally important to you.
