Work descriptions on PharmCas?

I'm working on the Work Descriptions section of my PharmCas, but I'm getting stuck on what to put in the "descriptions" area of your application. There's only 175 characters so I'm honestly not sure what I should write...should I mention responsibilities I have, or just keep it simple and put down my official job position?

Also, I know that they allow you to put volunteer experience down in the Work Experience section, but I'm not sure whether to include hospital volunteering under Work Experience or Extracurricular.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I volunteer at a pharmacy as a tech and I still put that under work experiences. I wrote down my position like: Pharmacy Tech- filled perscriptions, worked on special projects, kept inventory of controlled drugs, etc. etc. etc. until I filled 175 characters

Are you just sticking to things that you did in college or should I mention experiences from highschool?

I'm sticking to college stuff, except I did volunteer at several research labs throughout my high school years so I'm including that. Thanks for your answer! 🙂
