This was an intro call to discuss my experience in marketing and sales, with a focus on my character. The interview was about 30 minutes long, and the interviewer was really nice and supportive. Having previous sales experience seems to be a plus for joining the team.

I applied for a Sales Assistant role at Watsons and heard back quickly. The interview was pretty standard; they asked about my past work, my motivation for the role, and how I'd deal with customers. I think it went okay, but I didn't get the job and wasn't told why. The waiting period after was a bit long. It was a fine experience overall, though.

Behavioral Technical

The interview process usually has a few steps and might include phone screens, in-person interviews, and group or panel ones. It differs by company and role, but generally it's like this: First up is an initial screening, maybe a phone or video chat with HR or a recruiter to go over your background and experience, and see if you'd fit the job and company. Then, there's the initial interview, usually in person or via video with the hiring team. They'll ask you stuff to check your skills and qualifications, and see if you'd be a good culture fit.

  • What motivates your desire to become a pharmacist?
