What are some Pharmacy Jobs?

I just applied online to get a pharmacy technician license for the state of tx, can i apply for pharmacy jobs?

• should i wait until the license comes in the mail before i apply for pharmacy technician jobs or can i go ahead and apply now?

• Answer:

  Hi Marz, I am assuming that you registered as a pharmacy technician trainee, or if you have already passed the PTCB certification exam, you would have applied as a Pharmacy tech. You also need to get finger printed. Once the Texas board of pharmacy receives a clean background check (1-2 weeks) it will take them another 2-3 weeks to process your app and approve your registration. You do need to have an active registration with the State board before you can work or receive training on-the-job in a Texas pharmacy. So it can't hurt to start looking for a job, while you're waiting for your registration to be approved. I would let prospective employers know that you have already applied for registration and see what happens.
