I am an international pharmacy student currently in my 3rd professional year (5th year in 6 year program) in a US pharmacy school.

I work for CVS as an intern, but they told me that they no longer offer job sponsorships after graduation. If you are an international student, were you able to land a pharmacy job in the US after graduation recently?

Very difficult. I am one too. I will do a PhD if I can't find a job.

Almost impossible now...because of the economy...I'm thinking about moving to Canada or getting a PhD or MPH/MBA/MHA

I work for CVS in Massachusetts and they no longer sponsor H1B visas nationwide.

kampungboy, did your regional manager said that they still sponsor H1B? Cause I heard a totally different answer.

When there aren't huge shortages in a field, it's unlikely it would be easy for a company to bring in workers on H1B visas to compete against trained workers here in the States.
