Training for Pharmacists: Get the Job!

You’ve Sat Around Waiting for Interviews or Offers

But Still Don’t Have a Job You Want

Let me tell you a Secret


Are you one of the many pharmacists
who aren’t getting called for interviews like you used to when you would send off your resume?  Or maybe you are getting interviews, but they’re either not resulting in job offers you want, or you’re leaving money on the table?  Because the job market is still tight and competition is not going away, you are not alone in this job market that pharmacists are not used to.

Here’s the secret. It is NOT just about how qualified you are, but about how you’ve convinced a pharmacy employer over your competition that you are the one for the position.  It is all about marketing yourself differently from the very beginning.  If you do it right, you will get a job in 1/2 the time and get double the response.

You’ve been trained to be a pharmacist who takes care of your patients; you’ve been trained to memorize antibiotics and understand journal articles.  But most of you haven’t been taught what it takes to stand out in this job market when you apply for jobs.  Even if you have an understanding of marketing or even hiring, it is human nature to have blind spots about yourself.  That’s why you are stuck and not getting results as quickly as you should be.

What you need to do is to be smarter and more effective with your job search and take control back. Avoid making mistakes other pharmacists are making, so it doesn’t cost you a job.

How would you like to get 3 interviews from the 5 you applied for, rather than 1 from the 10?  How would you like to go into an interview knowing that you were going to ace it and walk out with a job offer–what would that be worth to you?

The good news is that for many of you, you can take control back. If you’re like many pharmacists out there, you are qualified.  The challenge is that you are looking like everyone else.  You CAN get closer to the job you want, if you only knew how.

Taking You From “Hoping” to Get the Job,
to Gaining Control of Your Job Search

I’m tired of seeing you miss out on your chances of getting the job you want.  You may be good with some aspects of job searching, but if you’re not good at even one step, you are throwing away possible job offers.  

That’s why I’ve created the Pharmacists: “Get the Job” Premium Membership Program to put you ahead of your competition until you find the job you want.

It’s Time to Tap Into a Pharmacist Job Expert’s Advice

It’s time to stop figuring it out yourself.  It’s also time to stop calling as many recruiters as possible whom you never hear back from. Get ongoing training & expert advice from someone who is a pharmacist job market expert until you get the right job.  Not just someone who is a hiring & marketing expert, but a pharmacist job market expert.  Why not give yourself the edge over your competition from someone who knows what hiring managers are looking for?

It’s Time to Hold You Accountable

Many of you are busy with work or school.  Although finding a job is a priority, it’s easy to just say “I’ll do it tomorrow”.  Doing it tomorrow, or blasting out your resume everywhere will not get you results that you can get.  Remember, you are in control if you know what to do and have someone who’s an expert hold you accountable.

The Pharmacists: “Get the Job” Premium Membership Program will:

  1. Address your needs specifically as a pharmacist looking for a job,
  2. Give you ongoing training, expert advice, and accountability until you get the job you want,
  3. Be a “no-brainer” investment you can’t say no to.

You will get access to a pharmacist job market expert who will give you expert advice and hold you accountable throughout the process.   It’s like having an expert “on call” once a week.  At this no-brainer investment, there’s no excuse for you to not give yourself the best possible chance of getting a job.

Raving Reviews of Having Personal Access to Chen

“Chen, I just needed to convey to you what a difference it made after I listened to what you had to say….I have been a clinical inpatient pharmacist with several years of experience.   I went to a couple of interviews recently–both of which I did not get—I couldn’t understand what I was lacking or did not have that the other candidates did.  After finding you and learning from you, I have just accepted a full-time investigational drug pharmacist position at a reputable hospital.

The position is ideal, not only b/c of the m-f ,8-4:30 thing, but also b/c it is going to be challenging and different from anything that i have ever done in the past.

Thank you so much…I have been to so many interviews in the past year, but after taking all of your advice, I felt very confident during my interview (I even had to do a Powerpoint presentation).  So please continue doing what you are doing and I truly believe that it will help many pharmacists out there that are in frustrating, dead end and non-fulfilling positions.

Thank you, thank you, and thank you again.”

N. Shah

“After following the step-by-step process you shared with me, within 1 week of applying for an inpatient position I really wanted, I got an interview even though I had no inpatient experience as a pharmacist.”
Dave F. (Portland, OR)

How many offers do you want to miss out on before you decide to do something differently? “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” –Albert Einstein

How much more money do you plan to lose by not working for 1 more day? Think about what it is worth to you to have a job offer one day, one week, or one month sooner.  What is it worth to you to get the job you want, vs. the job you’ll settle for?

Working for one hour covers your investment in the program. It is time that you invested in yourself, and stop worrying whether you’ve given yourself the best shot at getting the job you want.
