How To Get Hired Quickly In Your Pharmacy Career

It's competitive out there for Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians whether you're a new pharmacy graduate or an old timer with years of experience. The pharmacy job market is shifting and advanced certification is key whether in sterile compounding or other.

Employers want to see proof of certification before even considering you for employment. Once you're certified the next hurdle is quickly getting hired. I say hurdle because that's what it has become over the last few years. 

Pharmacy schools graduate at least over 10,000 pharmacists a year who flood the job market each year, not to mention other Pharmacists and Pharmacy Techs who immigrate to the US. So, the competition can be potentially fierce.

Think of the number of times you may have uploaded your resume to the popular job search sites, applied to the listed jobs for pharmacists or for a pharmacy technician and.....NOTHING. What happened? 

Well, just having experience and submitting a resume in hopes the ATS (applicant tracking system) will pick your resume over others is not enough...ANYMORE! You need additional tools and strategies to implement in your pharmacy career to get noticed and called in for an interview. 

Take a look at the graphic below to gain perspective.

Yes! that's the reality. No wonder every time you apply and submit your resume it disappears into the unknown. If you've had enough stress and anxiety over your never-to-hear-back unfulfilling Pharmacist or Pharmacy Tech job applications then the first place to start would be with your resume and its not enough to just download and use a template and hope for the best. 

You need to get the odds in your favor and increase the probability that your resume will be picked by the ATS (Applicant Tracking System) and therefore a professional resume writing service is the first step.
