Assignment 15: Interview

1. When did you decide that you wanted this as a career?

I knew that it had the hours that I was looking for. They are really good at working with everyone's schedule and that was originally a big deal for me. Plus, I have always gone to this pharmacy, and I love the atmosphere. Something inside of me really wanted to do this. Working at a pharmacy has always interested me.

2. Is there anyone who influinced you to do this?

Before I started working at Goodson's, I was the only one that truly influinced myself to work here. No one was pushing me to work anywhere, but I had support for doing whatever I wanted. However, when I started working here, everyone who works here showed me that it is the perfect place for me.

3. What motivates you to go to work everyday?

You mean besides money? The great atmosphere and fun that I have doing this job keeps me motivated. There really is never a boring moment here.

4. How do you deal with terrible customers?

You know this by now. I just deal with their problems to get them out of here as soon as possible. Then I just complain to everyone about it, same as everyone else here.

5. What is it like to know a significant amount of the customers?

It's both tiring and helpful. There are times when I am constantly rushing around trying to help the customers who specifically want me to help them with something, but I guess it's helpful to know what specific things each customer wants.

6. What have you done about coworkers that you hate?

Complain to the ones I like and avoid the ones I don't. However, it is nice to keep good relationships with all coworkers, so I make sure to constantly talk with everyone here. I just attempt to avoid conversation more with them than with others.

7. What is it like to work for the same company for a long time?

Well, since I love my job, it's fun. For some people, it gets boring, but not for me. As I progress and work here longer, I am more trusted to do different things and by now I know everything. So it's nice to be able to do whatever is needed.

8. What do you like the least about this job?

There isn't really anything that I don't like about this job. Actually, yeah there is. I hate making some of the compounds. Like creating some of the capsules is just boring and tedious.

9. Do you love your job?

I am pretty sure that I have said that throughout this interview. I wouldn't ask for any other job out there. This place has truly become my second home.

10. How am I as a coworker?

I mean your sassiness is off of the charts, but I guess its amazing. You're pretty good at your job, I guess. You know I am kidding; you have been a real help. You are super ambitious and you are always looking for work to do. I think everyone can count on you to do something when it is needed. You pick up some of the coworkers slack and that's a really good trait that is helpful in the real world.

My Responses:

1. Coordinating with someone's schedule is really important. This job works great with my schedule, also. I have always know that I wanted to do something like this also. Helping people makes me feel good.

2. Everyone here is insanely supportive when it comes to anything. Thankfully, the immense amount of support urges me to stay here even past this internship.

3. Yes. Besides money. There is constantly something to do and people to talk with, so yeah you're right.

4. I love how at every place of business, terrible customers are bothersome and usually ineffective at achieving what they want. Oh yeah, that's exactly what I do also. (We do that together by the way.)

5. I wish that I knew more of them like you do. Personally, I envy that people want a specific person to help them out with something. However, there is no way that I would be able to learn anywhere as much about them as you do.

6. You're super nice to everyone, so sometimes it is hard for me to notice which coworkers you don't like. But I am with you on this one because it is good to keep a friendly relationship with coworkers.

7. Yeah, it's nice that we progressively learn things here. I feel like I have learned so much within my time here already.

8. I have seen you grinding away making some pills in the back. They seem very tedious, and I am going to avoid them as much as I can. Plus, some of the formulas look confusing.

9. This place has grown on me so much. All of the coworkers and the environment is everything that I could ask for.

10. Thank you. I owe a lot of my training to you because you have taught me how to do a lot of this. I just try my hardest to help everyone.

Thank you for letting me interview you.
