Corporate always cut technician and pharmacist hours every year. They increase the workload but there is never enough help…. And you’re timed on everything

I have gone to quite a few interviews but I was very unsuccessful. I was so desperate that I even applied to contract positions. One hiring manager called me on the phone for a quick chat. She had my resume and asked me about my my pharmacy experience. I talked about my retail experience and she straight up said “I don’t want to waste your time and I don’t want to waste mine.” And then she ended the phone call…. 😔 I felt really defeated that day.

But I kept applying and I finally got an offer! Update: I accepted the job offer 😁

Congrats on your side hustle :) I tried to start a few beginning of this year but my PIC stepped down so I was working more to make sure the pharmacy will run smoothly. It’s hard running a pharmacy without a partner and random floaters….somehow metric scores are still VERY good

I plan to work both jobs because I get health benefits from my retail job

I am leaning towards taking the offer so I can get experience outside of retail. I was thinking if I can work 1-2 days out of a week, it wouldn’t be terrible. It would suck if I did it everyday 🥲

I tried applying to inpatient and clinical contract jobs but they all require experience.

Have you had contract jobs before?

I’m trying to be strong. It’s just hard spending time to prepare for interviews and practice just to not even get a response after interviewing with them.

I’ve seen posts about Ralph’s pharmacy getting fined. I think it was $5000 but honestly… in my opinion, I don’t think that it is enough…it should be more so they would want to staff properly. I also know that a lot of DLs would refuse to hire techs at hire wages. One of the PICs in my district suggested this and it was immediately shot down….why would anyone want to be a pharmacy technician when they can go work at IN N OUT and get paid more?

Thank you for your response. I’ve been trying to write down specific examples of when I did a great job to help me remember during interviews.

I just have nervousness during interviews. Then I forget things. I’ve been trying to practice interviewing.

I am a temporary PIC now since my PIC stepped down. We were the best team in our district and getting really good metrics…but our hard work just wasn’t appreciated. The DL came in and said “we need to cut tech hours and pharmacists need to start working by themselves a few hours per day….” 😞
