Members don't see this ad.

I am not a new grad. I have about 2 years of experience.

Also, join LinkedIn. Lots of recruiters on there.

Rural Kentucky is gorgeous.

It really is beautiful. I grew up in a small town and had lots of family that lived in the countryside, on farms, etc. And I dated a guy who lived WAY up in the mountains of E. Kentucky. Talk about breathtaking.

I got a call yesterday looking for 4 per diem retail pharmacists in the SF bay area, I got an email today looking for pharmacists for Target.

apparently i'm like a goodluck charm or something

5 years ago, this would have been a joke. A residency trained pharmacist bragging about per diem retail positions? Got an email from target?

well...

1) either these people didn't read my CV correctly or, more likely...
2) they're passing these to me so i can bestow opportunities to my retail-minded bretheren

No offense to you of course. I just find the current job market to be very disappointing.

Honestly, I don't even think they went over your CV. This is what recruiters do. They contact everyone and anyone and go from there.

yah...i don't blame them either.

the market looks like this:

new grads = screwed
PGY1/2 grads = where new grads were 4 years ago
current pharmacists > 3 years in practice = depends who you are

face it, some of you out there don't know how to job hunt, interview, or network. some of you think you're hot **** but really the places you are applying to are getting back channel info of how big of an screw up or jerk off you are. some of you play innocent on here, woe is me...the market sucks, new schools suck...but really the problem is your own inability to perform.

and some of you just straight up lie. but it's the internet, whatever. keep this in mind, readers...and remember, delusions can happen on your end, too.

This may be true but lets face it, a lot people will be left out in the rain regardless of what they do simple because the demand is not there.

👍 graduated in 2012.. I am currently working for my 3rd employer. I left the other 2 jobs because they were not a good fit. I left on good terms and still maintain contact with my former supervisors.

2012 grad here, I'm on my second full time employer, currently looking for a third. Trying to get some inpatient experience

I get calls from recruiters daily. BUT these are for director of pharmacy or clinical specialist jobs, not for new grads.

+1. These are the only recruiter calls I get too - jobs for which I'd need another degree and/or several more years of experience.

 

[rph3664]

Are we going to pretend you have actually looked up this number?

How about the number of the middle shift pharmacists that Walgreens and CVS have cut during the last 4 years?

Yeah, like my BFF who got the axe from Walgreens just before Christmas; he had worked there for 15 years. He's working for Omnicare now, and likes it a lot more.

 

[rph3664]

I haven't done any intense analysis, but CVS and Wags are both definitely hiring in my city. There is a new Wags going in near the home my husband and I are buying.

And let me guess. Both of them have contacted you with job offers.

The whole situation is very frustrating. I have networked, called places, joined organizations to the best of my ability. I have not even found any job openings or gotten any interviews.

Maybe it is time to move on and go back to school.

I'm going to say something that might offend a lot of people so if you're reading this post and you get easily offended, stop reading. I would NEVER hire someone with visible tattoos. It's trashy, it's low class, and it's a sign of low intelligence in my honest opinion.

My best tech has visible tattoos. Better visible tattoos than a tendency to judge people harshly. 🙂

I have a job. Both of them called for interviews but I had already accepted another offer. I know people who were recently hired, though. At Wal-Mart too. And Target is also hiring.

Sure, but those are jobs for retail. Better to be unemployed, wouldn't you agree?
