I have a couple years of full-time work experience. The problem is PharmCAS only allows a max of 175 characters for both job title and description. I barely have room to explain what my job duties are. How do you deal with that? Do you attach your resume to your school's supplemental application? However, if a resume is not required, I figured the school probably won't look at it nor take into consideration.

What should I do?
 
Prioritize. If you have more jobs than pharmcas allows, prioritize which jobs you choose to list that are most relevant to pharmacy/health professions. I had done this last year and it was not detrimental at all. If you have more duties in your job than you have space for, pick the most important duties that you think will make you stand out. You can always go in more depth in an interview.

Can you put all of the volunteering you did under work experience?
