Hello all,
I am of course pusuing a carreer in pharmacy and would like to get a job as a pharmacy tech. I had just a few questions I hope you can help with.
1) Should I speak directly with the pharmacy manager rather than just the staff pharmacist when I ask if any openings are availiable ?
2) When is the best time to go speak to a pharmacist - basically when is the slowest time of day ?
3) I an not certified, nor have a taken any formal pharm tech classes..I do however have my bs in biology and have worked in research labs for several years - will it be very difficult to find a position or do you think my background will help ? (yes I am willing to take pay cut)
4) Is it easier to obtain an entry level tech job in a hospital or a retail pharmacy or does it not matter ?
5) Any other advice one can give about looking for a pharm tech job ?
Well thanks for everyones help in advance !!
