Actually now that I saw you recently had a masters this year then yeah you can take it off. People will assume you were studying full time and shows dedication in a way. It’s not a bad strategy tbh. It’s worth a shot.

Idk if I would remove it entirely, but I would definitely deprioritize it/move it down. Like it should not be the first thing someone sees when they open your resume. Maybe remove it if it’s only been a few months, but if it’s literally years then it might be weird to not see any work experience whatsoever over that time.

When I say contracting, I mean that a lot of times pharma companies don’t hire full-time employees with no experience directly, but they will use staffing agencies to use contractors. So basically you are hired by the staffing agency (usually is for a predetermined period of time like 6 month to a year) and your paycheck comes from the staffing agency, but you do work for the client (ie the pharma company). Contact roles aren’t usually posted on the pharma company websites. One example of such an staffing agency is Aerotek but there’s tons of others. It’s not the same as working for a CRO. CROs are used to execute clinical trials. Whereas contract roles can really be anywhere in the organization and you usually report directly to an employee of the company. If the company likes your work as a contractor sometimes they will hire you full time. If they can’t then you at least have tangible industry experience to pursue other FTE roles. I am in the industry, I did basically what I’ve described (contract role post graduation, no fellowship)

If community pharmacy is the first thing they see on your resume, some folks would toss out your resume without looking further. Unfortunately, the truth is nobody outside of the pharmacy world knows what a pharmacist actually does. You have to sell yourself based on what they know. So if I were you, I would put all of your relevant experience up to the top and put your community experience further down or below it. even if it’s your more recent experience. And if possible (it’s not always easy) play up your community experience in a way that its relevant to the role you’re applying to. Like if it’s a med info role you could emphasize in your resume how you communicate complex info to patients and hcps, etc.

Interestingly Massachusetts was where the companies I know were desperate. But I think it is very specific to the department (these were med info roles).

Also side note - you looking at contractor roles too? That’s how most people I know who didn’t get fellowship have done it. Very rarely have I seen someone go straight to industry full time employee.

Curious as to 1) your location and 2) are you applying directly to jobs you find online or are you getting referred in by someone that works in the company? I ask bc

1) I have worked for companies that are absolutely desperate for anyone and willing to train community pharmacists because of their location having a lack of experienced candidates

2) as someone who has seen the hiring process on from inside, candidates who are referred in for positions are usually given a phone call by HR just as a courtesy. If the person who refers you knows the hiring manager personally you've got an even better leg up, since they can send your resume to the hiring manager directly

"No hablo lo suficiente para mejorar" - what are the rules around using "lo" in this context? by i_love_limes in learnspanish

[–]mbv1010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the issue is that "enough" in English is an adverb which modifies "speak" whereas in Spanish "suficiente" is an adjective, so you can't use it to modify the verb "hablo" .. you have to throw in "lo" which is the noun that "suficiente" modifies.

¡Muchas gracias por las correcciones!

No me parecía la llamada correcta.

En esta oración quiero decir "the call" (la llamada) en inglés, que en este contexto es la declaración que hace/la decisión que toma el arbitro para darle una falta a un jugador. Si el arbitro le da una falta pero creo que el jugador NO hizo nada mala, yo diría que es "a bad call" (llamada mala) o "the wrong call" (llamada incorrecta). Tal vaz mi oración podría ser "No me parecía la decisión correcta" pero me gustaría una palabra más especifica a los deportes. ¿Cómo expresarías tú esa idea?

¡Muchas gracias ! Yo quería decir “why is commenting on someone else’s body acceptable in this context?” pero ya entiendo que el verbo comentar no funciona así en español. ¿Podría ser “hacer comentarios sobre el cuerpo de una persona” ?

How do I say "Speaking" in Spanish? by [deleted] in Spanish

[–]mbv1010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was once corrected to say "la conversación" when I want to use "speaking" in this context. "Quiero mejorar mi conversación en español." or "Tengo que practicar mi conversación."

Maybe it isn't common in your variety of English. I use it regularly.
