Apply for pharmacy technician positions at CVS, Walgreens, etc. Say that you want to go to pharmacy school, that's pretty much a guarantee to get you a job, depending on where you live.
I think it's easier to volunteer at the independent pharmacies. You should consider looking into those because the atmosphere is much smaller and personable.
they are independent, so they are small and not in chains,what are examples of independent pharmacies that I can look for?

If they're independent, it's a good chance they only have one location. If that's the case, you'd have to be local to know. Maybe list your area and someone might be able to tell you.
Would I have to talk to the pharmacy manager? And is a resume needed? I'm one of those without work experience. I applied to 15+ pharmacies last summer and didn't get a call back from anyone.Apply for pharmacy technician positions at CVS, Walgreens, etc. Say that you want to go to pharmacy school, that's pretty much a guarantee to get you a job, depending on where you live.
If I have no experience as a pharm tech, will they give me the training necessary to start?
Also, what are my chances of getting a pharm tech job if I submitted most of my applications online and said no work experience?
Yeah, they will train you. There is no point in paying money for pharmacy technician and PTCE programs.
To OP:
Go to Google Maps and type in "XXXXX pharmacy -cvs -rite aid -kroger -publix -wal-mart". Replace XXXXX with your zip code. You should then get a list and directions to independent pharmacies close to where you live.

I typed in XXXXX and got some websites to naked girls
I'm under the impression that it's far easier to be able to volunteer at a hospital rather than at a retail pharmacy.Also, do retail pharmacies (like cvs, rite aid, walgreens) allow volunteers?
Hi guys. I want to ask a question about getting some work experience for when I apply to a Pharmacy school. I am still in my first year of JC doing some pre-reqs and working on transferring to CSUF to get my BS in Biology. Now onto my real question. When should I start applying to places like Walgreens and Rite-Aid to become a Pharm Tech or at least get some experience? Is it too soon for me? I'm sorry if this isn't in the right thread, the questions in this thread were somewhat related.
Apply whenever you want, assuming that you're 18 or above. The sooner the better. You want as much experience as you can get before applying to pharmacy schools (for example, I started volunteering in high school) so you can put it on the applications.
quick question, is shadowing and volunteering the same thing? because I don't have any pharmacy experience and I was hoping to volunteer or shadow at my local wallgreens or CVS.

I tried sending applications to retail pharmacies but none have contacted me so far. What are the chances I will contacted for a job as a technician or assistant with no work experience.

go talk to the pharmacy manager and store manager......btw i have heard in the near future walgreens will begin laying off techs in my area...they are already cutting our hours and turning some 24hr stores to normal hours while cuttin pharmacists
Are volunteering hours flexible? If I wanted to volunteer for Pharm at a hospital, could I say I wanted to come in only on Sundays or something?
