Hi everyone!
I have been looking for a job in VA for a few months now with no luck! I am a 2012 graduate.
I did not intern while i was in pharmacy school, because i didn't have work permit to get hired and i think that is what's hurting my chances. I did really well on all my rotations my forth year and i've been told i have a great personalty and i'm very friendly. I work well with other and truly care about people and want to help them but i have no connections to find a job. I'm thinking of the following options:
1) apply as a technician and work my way up ( I know since i'm licensed in VA as a pharmacist, i'm still a pharmacist but i'll work with a technician salary if i have to) Do you think this is realistic?
2) get an intern license in a nearby state like DC and work as an intern to get experience. Would they hire a pharmacist in another state as an intern?
If you have any suggestions please leave it. I Don't know what to do anymore...
