IPPE experience and site is hiring

I began my first IPPE and I saw online that my site is hiring. I had no prior experience working in a pharmacy and would like to know when should be a good time and how should i go about asking the pharmacist about the position. Or should I apply online and then notify her? I'll only be at this site for approximately 4 weeks (3 days a week).

Also, Different pharmacists are working at the store should I tell every pharmacist I work with or should I just my primary preceptor?

Edit: Sorry, I should've been more specific. I've completed my first professional year of pharmacy school and the store is hiring a "Pharmacy Student" (that's what it said on the site).

IPPE? as in P1? I'm sorry, but that's too early for a company to commit to hiring someone, and it's too early to be certain of your career track.

It's along P3 and P4 year that you and employers are more likely to make that commitment. Take the first 2-3 years to figure out what you want to do for sure, so you can at least nail down one end of that equation.

i'm pretty sure they're talking about an internship here...

bring everyone coffee or snacks or something, and then ask.

p.s. the 'e' in 'ippe' stands for 'experience'

Correct me if wrong, but I thought IPPE stood for introductory pharmacy practice experience during P1 year.

it does. this person saw an opening at their ippe site for an internship position and they want to be hired on as an intern, not as a pharmacist.

Yes. You are correct. I should've been more specific. However, when should I ask, after I'm done or during the second week?

You ask during the final IPPE day.

I think you can mention it to your preceptor now and let them know that you're interested in the postion. Obviously they won't hire you till you finish your ippe but if you let them know now, they'll keep you in the back of their mind. You don't want to wait till you finish your ippe cuz the position could get filled by then or they might already have someone else in mind.
