Your resume, is it good enough?

A resume is a huge part of getting your foot into any potential employers office. It is truly your first impression and as the saying goes " you only get one chance to make a first impression" Well that being said I think it is very important to now go over what you as a pharmacist need to do in order to get the attention of potential employers.

First I would say the basics are make sure there are no spelling errors on your resume. Second I think for pharmacists it is best to use a chronological resume rather than a functional resume because it shows directors how long you have been at any particular job for any substantial period. Length of employment is one of the first things they at, if you are someone who has jumped to 4 jobs in 4 years, no matter how good the reason a potential employer will turn you down regardless of your other experience. A good chronological resume should go in this particular order.

1) Objective- should be short and to the point.

2) Education- GPA should be listed if you have 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.

3) Experience- Include all experience, including coursework and internships.

4) Skills and accomplishments- computer skills, languages, as well as technical and lab experience and publications.

5) Honors and Activities- Deans list and any other school awards, also make sure to include only activities that show leadership.

These are the basic elements of a good resume depending on experience it will have to be changed around a little. If you would like us to review your resume just contact us 866-538-0715

Tuesdays with Maury

Hello,

I have just read an article about a service that the Ontario government has enacted that gives patients greater access to their pharmacists, in formal meetings where they can discuss what drugs they are taking and how the drugs are interacting. I say that this adds a slightly clinical aspect to the retail pharmacist job, which I know a lot of you enjoy. But is it worth while would it be something you would like to see happen here in the states and most importantly is there enough time in the day to meet with every concerned citizen who wants advice from you about the drugs they are taking? How do you as a pharmacist feel about? I have attached the article just click on the title.

10 Things to do during every interview.

Here is a list of ten things I tell my clients before they go into an interview to do. If these are done correctly the chances of success go up dramatically.

1) Dress properly-This maybe a no brainer but there are some out there who do not wear a suit to an interview. The guideline usually is to dress as if you are going to church or court which ever you're more comfortable with. Just Because the interviewer or organization is casual, does not mean we can be.

2) Always Smile and make eye contact- When you first meet the interviewer extend your hand and make eye contact. Introduce yourself and listen for their name so that you can use it at the end the interview to thank them for taking the time to interview you.

3) Bring 2 copies of your resume- This is important that you bring a good clean copy of your resume with you on resume paper. I say bring two because usually the director is going to need to pass your resume on to his Hr department and we want him to have one as well.

4)Stay away from money- It is improper to discuss money at the first interview. If they ask you about money it is ok to say your negotiable. Money is always the last thing to discuss even if it is the first thing on your mind.

5) Do your research- This is important, you want the potential employer to know you have looked into them and it will tell you what their recent success have been and where they are going as an organization.

6)Always ask questions- The only way to hear what you want to hear is to ask questions. The questions should revolve around duties and the company. Some questions should also revolve around the research you have done prepare some questions about things you have seen on the organizations website.

7)Always speak good of the past- Never criticize a current or former employer. Your potential boss would not want you to go around bad mouthing him if you leave his organization.

8)Mentally prepare yourself- You do want to walk into an interview with an air of confidence, in your mind you should already know that you have done the research and have good questions prepared, the only thing standing in your way is the attitude you present to your interviewer. Always make sure you are enthusiastic about the opportunity and convey that to them.

9)Know somebody- Always have references available to provide to your potential employer.

10)Exit with a smile- At the end of the interview shake your potential employers hand and thank him again for taking the time to interview you and reiterate how much you are interested in the position. I always say to follow up with a thank you note it is always best.

Pharmacy Mulligan.

Hello all I have just read an article about how overworked pharmacists create more drug errors than those who are not. WOW did someone really need to write an article about this. It is a useful article about an issue that affects every overworked american it is just that the average americans mistakes don't whind up hurting someone accidentally. By the way the title is a golf reference for anyone who was wondering. Look it up.
