How to get Pharmacy technician certification?

How to get his foot in the door of the pharmacy industry?

  • My husband is an intelligent, hard-working man with a Biology degree from a reputable university, a national pharmacy technician certification, and a VA state pharm tech license. The problem is: he can't get his foot in the door. He's applied for every Pharmacy Tech job that has been posted in the area for the last 3 months and no matter how well he interviews, he just doesn't have the on-the-job experience to land the pharm tech position. People in the Pharmacy industry: what can he do to build the experience he needs to land a pharm tech job (which he is well-educated for)?

  • Answer:

    tell him to try and get a job as a Pharmaceutical Representative. with a degree in Biology he should have no problem. has he tried the hospitals?

Pharm Techs are a dime a dozen. It is easy to find one who already has experience. He can try and apply to high demand areas. He can also volunteer at a pharmacy. If he has a biology degree, why does he want to be a pharm tech? The average starting pay for someone with a bio degree is in the mid 30k. The average starting pay for a pharm tech is $10 an hour.
