As the title suggests, I have nothing to show for my 2 years in pharmacy school. I get good grades (>3.5 GPA), but besides that, I am not involved in anything.

I'm in some organizations and I've participated in some events, but I'm merely a member. We recently had some elections, and I realized that this year, my P2 year, was my last year to become involved and get a position, so I could do SOMETHING in my P3 year. But alas, this realization came way too late.

I do work for a chain and I've been with them for 5 years. I was banking on a summer internship with the company but just recently found out that I was denied. Now I realize how fragile I am in this competitive job market.

I don't have plans to do a residency; I enjoy working in a community setting and would love to get a retail position.

Any thoughts on what I can do in my P3 year to make up for my lack of involvement?
