Leaving the profession?

Since my unemployment ends this week, I no longer have to apply for jobs, and have made the decision that I'm not going to waste my time, money, and energy doing so for the time being. I do have a job that starts next week, although it's temporary, minimum wage, and no benefits. 🙁

My three state licenses aren't due for renewal until 2012; I'll decide then what I plan to do about them. In the unlikely event that I have found another pharmacy job, I will renew them, but if I haven't, I'm just not sure.

I also posted on my Facebook page that I would really appreciate not being asked about this if you see me in public, and I also do not need your kindly suggestions that I go to job fairs, employment agencies, temp services, Monster.com., etc. No, really, you don't think I hadn't thought about those things, and even done them TO NO AVAIL? Seriously, I thought the job fairy would leave one on my porch! 🙄 In addition, people who see that post and ask those questions in an attempt to be funny will regret it.

In addition, asking me if I've thought about getting another degree will really, really p1ss me off.

 

[rxforlife2004]

I am sorry to hear this, pal. Just hang in there...I don't know what to do if I lose my current job now. But oh well, probably I will go back to school and get an MD...the only job available in this country.

I'm sure your friends love getting chastised for being concerned about you and wanting to help you. Your promise to make people who try to help you or even those who just try to lighten the mood "regret it" makes you seem unstable. I know you're discouraged and frustrated, but this is no way to go about a job search, or even life. Alienating the people who are closest to you will get you nowhere and leave you alone with no support system.

Have you thought about getting some help for these feelings you are having? Not being flippant.

I don't know if you are insane or just a troll.

 

[rph3664]

All4, I've really had to restrain myself many, many times. I can come here and vent.

I know you have to deal with nosy, none-of-your-business questions all the time. I've learned that actually SAYING "This is none of your business" makes things worse, not better.

I'm tempted, in the unlikely event that I get another interview, to walk in the office and say, "You really don't want to hire me, do you?"

Their response? "No."

Me: "I didn't think so."

 

[All4MyDaughter]

All4, I've really had to restrain myself many, many times. I can come here and vent.

Of course you can vent, but you do recognize that coming here and posting means you have to put up with people's comments? And mine were sincere.

I know you have to deal with nosy, none-of-your-business questions all the time. I've learned that actually SAYING "This is none of your business" makes things worse, not better.

Yep. I've lived the last 2.5 years of my life in the public spotlight. And what I've learned is that when people pry or ask things you don't want to answer, it's best to say, "Oh... I'm doing fine. Thanks for asking" and then smile and move on. Of course saying "none of your business" makes things worse. Being rude almost never improves any situation.

I stand by my assertion that rebuking people who are trying to help and support you will get you nowhere.

I'm tempted, in the unlikely event that I get another interview, to walk in the office and say, "You really don't want to hire me, do you?"

Their response? "No."

Me: "I didn't think so."

Well, that approach will certainly guarantee your continued unemployment for the foreseeable future. Why would anyone hire someone with that attitude?

I once had a job experience that lasted 4 months and was so bad, I briefly considered surrendering my licenses (at the time, I only had two). That lasted about 5 minutes, and 3 weeks later, I found a job that lasted for 3 years and because it was retail and changes were coming up that would make me massively incompatible with the job, I decided to leave.

Not long afterwards, an interviewer asked me why I left XYZ job after 4 months, and I hemmed and hawed and he said, "I've been told many times that XYZ is a very difficult place to work at."

for those of us who dont know, whats your situation? can you not find a job period, or cant find a job you like?

for those of us who dont know, whats your situation? can you not find a job period, or cant find a job you like?

or are you unwilling to move?

I will not do retail, and because I do not have a Pharm.D. and a residency, I am no longer qualified for hospital work in my region. The critical access facilities in my area won't even consider me for relief work; they say they have enough people. 😕 I live in a small city in a rural area, and while I would be willing to relocate, I need to know where to relocate to!

In 6 1/2 months, I have been called by 3 employers and had 2 interviews, and was notified by neither that I didn't get the job. All they did was just leave me hanging. The one phone interview I had led to a generic "You Suck" letter, sent by e-mail "to whom it may concern". I got some really strong vibes from that interview that it was not a place where I wanted to work.

I've even tried temp agencies and received ONE phone call - MY FORMER EMPLOYER when one of the overnighters was fired under even more unethical circumstances than mine!

As for the VA, LTC agencies, etc. yes, I've gone there to, all for nothing.

I must have depleted all my dopamine or serotonin earlier this week, when I found a hospital in a city 100 miles away that had 2 FTE openings and applied for them, and the next day went to a job fair in that same city and one of the booths had 3 FTEs available also; I sure hope there isn't a good reason for that, KWIM? While I was there, I swung by a hospital that I happened to drive by, and it was a really weird experience because the place looked deserted. Granted, it was in a really bad neighborhood, but what kind of hospital has nobody at the front desk, people aren't walking around, all the offices are essentially shuttered, etc.? It WAS open because there were people at the ER desk; she guided me to the personnel office and that was all locked up too. It was about 12:45pm so maybe they were at lunch, but I got really bad vibes about that place and left without applying.

I've even filled out applications at Home Depot and UPS.

 

[lorain]

so what was your previous job? were you working retail? or did you get released from the hosp. job cuz you didnt have pharmd.residency?

So you are desperate enough to work at Home Depot with your knowledge and experience but won't apply to a hospital because they didn't have a greeter? You sound too picky considering your situation.

 

[All4MyDaughter]

So you are desperate enough to work at Home Depot with your knowledge and experience but won't apply to a hospital because they didn't have a greeter? You sound too picky considering your situation.

I agree. I'd also add that I *personally* would rather work retail pharmacy for 100K+ than be a cashier or stock person at the Home Depot. Parts of this story don't make sense.

 

[rph3664]

So you are desperate enough to work at Home Depot with your knowledge and experience but won't apply to a hospital because they didn't have a greeter? You sound too picky considering your situation.

No, that hospital came across to me as a place that was outright dangerous.

There's a high volume chain in my town that always has openings (it's not CVS or Walmart, FWIW) but there's a pretty good reason for that. They use a lot of floaters, who generally ask not to come back, and people I know who get their prescriptions there have told me that while they always get them filled correctly and on time, the people who work there look absolutely miserable, and they generally don't last very long.

 

[pharm B]

You're taking a minimum wage job with no benefits because you refuse to do retail?

Man, talk about sticking to your guns. Just like the band on the Titanic.

i still dont understand your overall position

what about mail order pharmacy? its boring as hell, but it pays better than home depot and you dont deal with customers?

also, dont bother with a 2nd degree, im working on my business degree and it really doesnt open up more doors (unless you have residency, 3+ yr RELEVANT experience), etc

 

[rph3664]

I worked at a mail order place my last year in school and for 2 years after I graduated, and I would still be there if they hadn't reorganized, relocated, etc. and put us all out of work. We just had a reunion last month, and to this day, nobody I've ever spoken to regretted working there. And it was NOT boring; OTOH, it was the most interesting pharmacy job I ever had.

I did apply to a mail (my phone is ringing) order place in that big city 100 miles away, and haven't heard anything. That city does have a pharmacy school (not my alma mater) so jobs there probably go pretty fast.

The phone call was a place where I applied last week, and he wanted to let me know that he did get my application and resume, but the job was filled today. At least I got some feedback!

As for Home Depot or that temporary Christmas job that I start on Monday, the purpose of that is to tide me over until I find something permanent.

sounds like to me mail order is the way for you to go, and could prolly find a position if you are willing to move? i mean, moving blows, but its better than home depot

what part of the country are you in

 

[rph3664]

Man, talk about sticking to your guns. Just like the band on the Titanic.

Have you ever had a job you hated so much, you considered calling in sick every.single.day? Or going to the bathroom, to lunch, etc. and not coming back? Have you ever been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder because of your job? BTDT. No amount of money is worth it.

 

[pharm B]

Why not just float for that same time period?

 

[rph3664]

Midwest.

Of course I was not guaranteed a job upon graduation at the mail order place, but openings did come up and I and a classmate who had also worked there took them. My best friend, who had worked with us, was also offered a job there but he declined in order to move back to his hometown in another state; he now lives in another city in that state with his family. I was doing rotations when the job offer came in, and I learned VERY QUICKLY not to tell any of my preceptors where I was going to be working. I simply said, "I have a job" because if I told them I would be working in mail order, they stopped making eye contact with me, wouldn't sit with me at lunch, answered questions wrong on purpose, etc. which they did not do before.

You bet I have. I hated my job in the Navy so much I wouldn't consider signing on for 4 more years with a signing bonus of $100K.

But if I had trouble finding a job, and they allowed me to work temporarily at $50+ an hour, I'd definitely take the job while I looked for my next permanent one.

 

[rph3664]

Like I said earlier, I haven't even been able to get relief work.

Then it wasn't THAT bad.

One of my former co-workers gave back a $50,000 bonus (I thought he said $15,000 but no, it was $50,000) at a retail chain because he had such serious personality conflicts with another pharmacist. This guy is the type of person that if you don't like him, it's because there's something wrong with you, and if he'd stayed there for less than 2 months longer, he would have been able to keep all the money. He has (and had at the time) 3 kids and his wife was a SAHM at the time. He hadn't spent all the money, but he did have to borrow some in order to pay it all back.

 

[pharm B]

I'm not trying to have a pissing contest with you on who had the crappier job. My point is that it sounds like you're choosing the minimum wage job. It sucks you're at the point where you refuse to consider alternatives, but no one can really fix that but you.

Hopefully you're able to network here and elsewhere to end up in another hospital job. Till then, best of luck. I'm sure we'll see similar posts in a few years from those of us who are still sitting in a classroom.

Edit: And I will add one note regarding my previous occupation:

I knew I was getting out with benefits and a plan. Via the GI Bill and similar programs, I knew I could attend school and work toward my PharmD without worrying about having a roof over my head, etc.

There are people who were in my division who got out saying "screw this place, screw you" the whole nine yards. They proved they knew best, etc by making a big stink about finally getting that DD-214. A majority of the ones with the pissy attitude work at places like Subway while going to community college for the 4th year in a row.

If I didn't have my benefits to support me (along with the occasional work), I would have considered going into the energy field when I got out, despite knowing that I would still be working in a very similar environment to the one I hated so much, with similar people to the ones I never wanted to see again.

who cares wat they had to say, screw em all

you do what you want to do , and by the sounds of it, it looks like mail order pharmacy...im more than confident if you are willing to move, you can find a spot

 

[RX CARE]

Whatever..........there's been so much doom and gloom talked about on this forum about no jobs, and until there are absolutely zilch jobs, there are no grounds for picky people to be whining. I am a P4 and I already got an offer. To the OP, you can really do whatever the hell you wanna do. Coming here to vent on a public forum and warning people not to talk to you about your public venting in public is counter-intuitive. While I am aware that there are several possible scenarios that affect people's ability to land a job, resorting to a minimum wage job with an active license when there are still jobs in lots of places is just straight being picky. You must not need the money, and you probably must not need to pay some bills either. I beg to differ that the situation is as desperate as you make it seem, else you would grow a pair and pick up a job to handle business. There are horrible work environments.....really horrible....I have experienced them too...but you deal with them in lieu of unemployment or a level of unemployment that does not meet your needs. If working minimum wage is what makes you happy and it's not about the money for you, fine and good and be blessed. But that would mean we all wouldn't be having this conversation. My whole deal with this is really not about YOUR situation, after I read your post. It's really just about scenarios that I constantly see, including something like this one, that I usually really ponder and wonder whether people realize how good they have it in this country. This one has whining written all over it. People need to change their attitudes about life and appreciate that they even have an open door somewhere although it may not be the best. Maybe people need to be exposed to life in numerous other countries, and see the sadness and despair that people go through life with, see people so poor, living purposelessly, and just thirst for a drop of opportunity, no matter what it is, to put bread on the table. I know you have a right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but you cannot ignore the human element and the practicalities when trying to make that happen. Do whatever it takes, else you are really not gasping for air, sorry. My opinion.

I agree with this. Who cares what other people think. I personally do not understand why people hate mail order so much. I think it's the best field in pharmacy and is the reason why I went into pharmacy. LOL...

Like Lorain said, if you move I am sure you can find a good mail order job. Good luck! 🙂

Good post and it about sums up my own opinions.

 

[samuricool]

Since my unemployment ends this week, I no longer have to apply for jobs, and have made the decision that I'm not going to waste my time, money, and energy doing so for the time being. I do have a job that starts next week, although it's temporary, minimum wage, and no benefits. 🙁

My three state licenses aren't due for renewal until 2012; I'll decide then what I plan to do about them. In the unlikely event that I have found another pharmacy job, I will renew them, but if I haven't, I'm just not sure.

I also posted on my Facebook page that I would really appreciate not being asked about this if you see me in public, and I also do not need your kindly suggestions that I go to job fairs, employment agencies, temp services, Monster.com., etc. No, really, you don't think I hadn't thought about those things, and even done them TO NO AVAIL? Seriously, I thought the job fairy would leave one on my porch! 🙄 In addition, people who see that post and ask those questions in an attempt to be funny will regret it.

In addition, asking me if I've thought about getting another degree will really, really p1ss me off.

If you want to be picky and choose where you want to work, then you dont get to bitch when you dont get what you want. Its your own fault.

 

[IndustryPharmD]

Aren't you the person who had the ridiculous resume with no detail? So instead of fixing your resume, you are going for a retail hell minimum wage job? And you seriously think you won't see the same issues that plagued you in retail pharmacy in any other retail job (except the risk of lawsuit is somewhat lower)?

Please do come back to let us all know how long you last at that temporary job. Something tells me you will quit a lot sooner than Christmas...

That's what I love about the Internet - I get to see all kinds of human behavior I never even thought possible. 😀

 

[rph3664]

You're taking a minimum wage job with no benefits because you refuse to do retail?

Man, talk about sticking to your guns. Just like the band on the Titanic.

I've met two people who felt that strongly about hospital pharmacy! One of them was really not suited to retail either (I worked with him at the mail order place, and that really was his niche) and last I heard, he was working at a drug company's call center.

Another was a woman who I found out recently did not renew her license, and is now a Realtor.

I also agree. I'm not so sure why people on this forum feel so entitled upon graduation. Believe it or not, you might have to actually compete for a job.

People say this over supply is hurting our profession. I beg to differ. Think of it as a way to weed out the weak.

Maybe it's your terrible grammar or your use of text speak that obscures your sarcasm? Regardless, it seems to me that you are always on here moaning and groaning and trying to stir stuff up, like with your ridiculously embarassing thread about PAs (good job stealing that fake 'status update' from another site - awesome 👍).

And don't worry about my intelligence level. I'm doing just fine, thank you. 🙂

People say this over supply is hurting our profession. I beg to differ. Think of it as a way to weed out the weak.

Weed out the weak, really? It's probably because of people like you that I don't have a job - that they found the person who couldn't defend themselves and gave them the heave-ho like a used Kleenex.

Maybe it's your terrible grammar or your use of text speak that obscures your sarcasm? Regardless, it seems to me that you are always on here moaning and groaning and trying to stir stuff up, like with your ridiculously embarassing thread about PAs (good job stealing that fake 'status update' from another site - awesome 👍).

And don't worry about my intelligence level. I'm doing just fine, thank you. 🙂

lol...sure I admit that my English really sucks. However, as long as you can understand what I am typing right now, that's good enough. It takes a stupid person to understand another stupid person....right? I am here to moan and groan to help people like you...in future....to get a job. If you don't appreciate it, that's fine. I've met plenty of people like you who have no f*king clues of what's going on out there in the real world. Stay in school and STFU....

I knew it wouldn't be long before this thread got hijacked by It's Z. He hates when you say positive things about the profession and then blames it on naivety.

Thanks for the offer. I understand plenty about the real world and really, you're in no position to judge what I do and don't understand. You're really more of a joke than anything else. Cheers.

Good grief. Talk about *****ic convergence on this thread. I have to wholeheartedly agree with Industry...amazing to see some of the thought processes and outlook here.

Aside from the obvious, what would be some of the first things you'd want to do when you got back up to the surface?

hot shower shave and sleep in bed for 16 hours

That was the obvious!

Though after seeing the footage, that's all I could think too.

How about after you wake up from 16 hr sleep? I bet when you're down there so long, you miss the little little things we don't think twice about now...
