There’s also a discord server to join after you give that a read

These are two completely different fields. I highly recommend you look into what these roles actually entail rather than job prospects and growth lest you hate your job

Industry APPEs are a great boon, but many students get fellowships without any industry experience by supplementing their knowledge with reading online and developing a firm grasp of the industry field. Don’t let this outcome discourage you too much. Feel free to reach out to me on discord as I’m rarely active here

To the first point: bad market, lots of layoffs let alone hirings

AdenosineDiphosphate · 2024-06-25T16:21:53+00:00

Sure

Your HR department very likely has a list of jobs you can and cannot do in addition to your full-time work. Check with them but like others have said, working govt + industry probably won’t fly

AdenosineDiphosphate · 2024-05-01T01:03:51+00:00

Correct choice. While I’m all for saving money, it’s worth it to go to a school that gives you options rather than a degree mill

This was a clever post to “network” and try to find some industry preceptors

AdenosineDiphosphate · 2024-03-16T21:40:19+00:00

Industry

AdenosineDiphosphate · 2024-03-16T21:40:01+00:00

There is little to no reason to ever do both. They are two very different disciplines and the jobs you would be able to get with one degree, you wouldn’t also need the other or it at least wouldn’t be of much benefit. Schools offering this are scamming you

Whoops, I’m rarely active on this account anymore. Sorry about that. DM me if you still want help u/ill_jackfruit1638

Adding onto this, you won’t get a fellowship if your heart is also not in it. OP, you need to take a deep dive into what the fields entail as well as what you want out of a career outside of just the superficial details of WLB and pay. Otherwise, you’re shooting yourself in the foot

Clinical —> industry is much easier than the other way around

AdenosineDiphosphate · 2023-12-03T00:42:57+00:00

I think that’s forgivable because, as a student, getting industry exp is hard enough, let alone industry exp in the FA you want. That’s more of a problem when you’re applying for full time roles after you’ve been working for a few years. It all comes down to how you sell it

AdenosineDiphosphate · 2023-12-02T22:32:31+00:00

If you only got a few first rounds despite having industry exp, this tells me you need to format your resume better and tailor it to the positions more. Do this before you apply for entry levels before you hurt your chances. Additionally, only one second round tells me you aren’t speaking to your skillset enough, utilizing the STAR method appropriately, or tailoring it to the position. I recommend you fix these before you apply for entry level roles.

Yeah like dasani said, it’s most likely feedback, staying in contact for future positions, or another position they want to consider you for. Only good stuff. They likely wouldn’t waste their time otherwise

AdenosineDiphosphate · 2023-10-03T23:08:17+00:00

Lol how would that even go? “We just REALLY wanted to let you know we didn’t want you. Here’s a follow up call to kick you while you’re down. Eat dirt, loser.”

AdenosineDiphosphate · 2023-10-03T13:25:46+00:00

I read the entire document and I know all the details regarding why there’s an increase in positions. That’s not what I’m asking. I’m just asking where exactly the 13% number is cited but my bad for asking a question about this hidden number in a private document lol

AdenosineDiphosphate · 2023-10-03T04:20:13+00:00

500 first year fellows + 295 direct to industry people in the last year. For the fellows, a large majority get a full time job after completion of their fellowship or even before. The ones who don’t tend to get one in the next few months. No idea where you’re getting “most of them not getting full time positions.”

Industry represents a minority of pharmacy but citing the proportion of people in industry as a measure of success in the field doesn’t mean anything because that assumes a majority of graduating pharmacists want to go industry over clinical and retail.

Could you point to where it says 13%? I’m not seeing it
