If you’re a pharmacist in Saskatchewan, you might be looking for a way to get a foothold in a larger city. We know of several pharmacy personnel who started out in small towns across the province; and because they gained their license to practice as a pharmacist, they were able to improve their lifestyles dramatically.
This could be your situation, too, if you take on this two week assignment in the Regina area. If you are the right candidate, our Client may decide to take you on as a full-time employee. As one of the fastest-growing cities in western Canada over the last decade—Statistics Canada reported that Regina’s metropolitan area had grown by 12% between 2011 and 2016 —it’s the perfect place to lay a foundation for your career and, potentially, settle down with a family.
