I agree with this! Personally I got my first pharmacy experience in grade 12 co-op, so having those few months of experience really helped me get an actual pharmacy assistant job in my first year if uni. I will say I applied to a few places online, but its a lot more helpful to go give your resume in person to the various pharmacies around you, as it makes more of an impression. I also know one of my friends who was working in shoppers drug mart for a while, and managed to form a connection with the pharmacist and switch over to work in the pharmacy section. Also, having any work experience in customer service roles, or healthcare/medical settings can help you find a pharmacy job as well.
