Sure, a well-written Pharmacy Assistant CV can get you a long way. While it can improve your
chances of getting hired, you should not solely rely on it. Here are some pointers that you should keep
in mind.
Always Be Prepared
If the employer finds your Pharmacy Assistant CV remarkable, there is a big chance that he will call
you in for an interview. You do not know when this will happen, so make sure to always be prepared
with a copy.
How do you make sure that the stocks are disposed before they expire?
After the questions, you can now take a breather. But it doesnt mean that you have to leave the
building right away. You can ask some questions as well, like the following:
What programs or systems do you have for tracking inventory and supply?
Does the company provide Continuing Education for its Pharmacy Assistants?
