We understand what it’s like to look for pharmacy work. Remember, we are here to help you.
We Have A Common Understanding
Let’s be clear, finding employment in the pharmacy industry is not easy! The pharmacy job market has changed significantly in the last few years, becoming a buyer’s market with more and more applicants applying to each job. We are attuned to the difficulty of finding employment, and will work with responsibility to understand your background, past experience, and precisely which type of job you are aiming for.
As a healthcare recruitment agency, we not only recruit for clients, we also speak directly with you to clarify who you are as a candidate. Once we know about you, we can better fit you into a position that meets your level of credentials. This includes your ability to use pharmacy software, knowledge of drug dosages, and experience with blister packs.
The Benefit of Locum and Relief Work— A Wider Variety of Pharmacist Work Opportunities
We have a range of full-time and part-time positions in our database. Nevertheless, if you are finding it difficult to break into pharmacy work, you should consider taking on locum and relief shifts. These shifts are sometimes further away from large cities, but may result in higher pay as a result. Having a collection of relief work contracts on your resume shows that you are committed to working, even if you are required to travel long distances to do so. It also demonstrates an ability to adapt rapidly to changing work environments and management styles. A malleable candidate like this is someone who can land more secure, permanent employment. After all, if you can handle high pressure and rapid changes, a stable work environment will be less of a challenge for you. Often, we can also pay for your travel and accommodation expenses for locum and relief pharmacist positions.
Professionalism and Ambition Will Lead You to Opportunities
When working with RPI Consulting Group, you should know that we have high expectations for all of our candidates. These expectations don’t just cover basic employee traits like punctuality, cleanliness, and politeness. Our expectations extend to taking responsibility for your job duties. All pharmacists must be accountable for their tasks, because any deviation from accuracy could potentially lead to a customer being hurt or sick.
We want you to be someone who will not just do the job duties assigned to you, but have the personal incentive inside of you to try to do more, as much as your supervisors will allow you to do. For example, if a pharmacist has successfully processed all of their pharmacy’s scripts for the day, it would be beneficial for you to ask your manager whether you would be able to assist them in the business development side of the pharmacy. You could even show yourself to be a strong leader and provide guidance to the technologists and assistants working in the pharmacy with you. This will create a glowing impression of you in the eyes of employers. With that rapport comes a sense of trust that you are worthy of ascending to better positions and pay.
If you are a driven pharmacy professional who wants to get ahead, call us at 416-850-9809, or email us at jobs@rpigroup.ca with your credentials and statement of interest. We will be there to help you find the perfect job. Our toll-free number is 1-866-505-3383.
