What is Considered Job Hopping in Pharmacy?

Posted by on November 28, 2009 · 7 Comments 

Question:  Chen, what is considered job hopping in the pharmacy profession?  Does it really matter if I leave a job within a year?

Answer:  In our parents’ generation, it was common for people to stay in their jobs until they retired.  In this generation, people move around jobs more frequently.  However, if you leave jobs within 2 years, it is typically considered job hopping, unless you are a relief pharmacist.

Leaving positions frequently before sticking it out for at least 2 years is what you need to be concerned about.  This says to a pharmacy employer that you may not be a good investment to them, even if you are great at what you do.  It takes time, money, and resources to train someone fully, not to mention the costs of screening & hiring a pharmacist.
