After spending 10 years in retail, the physically demanding 10 to 12 hour days where taking a toll on her physically and mentally.
Evangeline knew she was ready to test out the pharmacy job market, but she also knew that relocating was not an option for her in the moment—and in the competitive pharmacy industry, that limitation can be a serious barrier.
In fact, Evangeline was really curious about working remotely as a change of pace from community pharmacy. After all, being on your feet for “ten to twelve hours a day,” per Evangeline’s experiences, could make anybody seek out the chance to work from home instead.
Put simply, Evangeline was certain she wanted to try that kind of flexibility on for size—to see, in her words, “if it would be a good fit.”
Admittedly, though, Evangeline wasn’t nearly as sure about where to start.
“I was just applying,” she claims, like anyone else—sending out tons of resumes and cover letters but “not getting a lot of bites.”She started looking around on her own finding and applying for jobs through Indeed and ZipRecruiter. Eventaully, she was able to secure a few interviews but unfortunately she found that she either didn’t get the job offer or it wasn’t something that she really wanted.
Unfortunately, the jobs that she really wanted she kept receiving rejection emails or never heard back from them.
