Lol Pharmacy is the way it is because we have let it. Bagging groceries with Pharm D lmaoo no wonder store managers ask new grads to clean the bathroom.
I’ve seen this happen. The PharmD will usually pass this task on to one of the techs, but it's a disgrace to the profession.
Sadly a pharamd doesn't transfer to alot of other industries. Hell in retail, customers can't tell the pharmacist from a tech. Most people don't know what a pharmacist does and thus they don't value them. You might switch to business and work for a drug company. Or you can work for a health organization. The problem with the job market today is that employers expect employees to come pretrained and know how to do the job. Which makes it difficult to switch careers.
That was in 2012, the district manager told me I didn't have the option to get unemployment, I didn't fight it I was a recent graduate I was part time and didn't have very many hours. I was in shock and desperate at the time. So I bagged groceries for a few months.
Yah, it really sucked. Especially since it was the same store I worked as a pharmacist so it was really confusing to customers and coworkers.
Yes I did. As a new graduate I already new how saturated the market was so I took the cashier position till I found something else.
Not sure why you don't believe me. I'm new to this forum am I missing something? Why do you assume I'm lieing? I'm just trying to get input on career change and everyone is focusing on me spending time as a grocery cashier. That isn't my focus.
I'm confused why do people keep assuming I'm lying? I just joined the forum today, what am I missing? Do you guys have a history of people making up stories or something? I'm not doing that. But if people are going to automatically think I'm lying I don't think this is a place for me. Honestly this sucks.
I'm not a troll or a guy. I promise I'm a legit person pharmacist and woman.
Thank you. I wish it wasn't true either.
I had invested 6 years with the company so it really caught me off guard. The started laying people off because of the new central automated refill center.
We need to have a stickied thread where it is explained to people that if they have poor English literacy in America that they may have a hard time finding work.
Oh the position I'm referring to is very much real, and easily found on the state job board, with the salary range included. They aren't getting experienced applyers obviously, but as a recent grad who knows many recent grads still looking, I know several people who have applied to it.
Very difficult to get in with out experience or knowing someone in the inside.
