Hey everyone!
I’ve recently accepted a new position recruiting Pharmacists from all over the globe to come to Canada and work for our business units.
I’m looking to speak to literally anyone and everyone who is willing to chat and share information.
Your pain points, complaints, day to day life, experience with exams, certification etc.
Especially anyone who has immigrated to Canada to become a Pharmacy Tech, Pharmacy Assistant, Pharmacist etc.

Going to Canada sounds so nice. Anything to get out of the day-to-day media cycle here in the states. Would you be willing to pay for relocation? I'm trying to think of questions folks would likely ask you.

Yes!! The company will help relocate, re-certify for Canadian standards, help with all costs associated. So if you’d like to chat- please email me at: AZuchetto@shoppersdrugmart.ca

I’m a designer in the planning/landscape architecture dept. of a CE firm. Extremely frustrated that after 4+ years and multiple asks, I’m not getting the in-field construction experience I’ve asked for. I know that my designs could be better if I could see how things are actually built but I get slapped in the face with “I need you in the office designing/drafting” or “there’s no budget to have you go out” and then sends an intern to inspect instead. I’m 5 yrs out of college. Any advice?

Does anyone have experience interviewing with Deloitte Internal Services? I had my final interview a week and a half ago, and received positive feedback throughout.

The role still shows as “Interviews in Process.” We did discuss potential start dates, but no salary. Any experience with receiving offers for an internal services role? Is this common?

I am leaving retail pharmacy after 15 years. I am opening a 403b pharmacy for a FQHC. I don't believe that retail pharmacy will be able to sustain itself with patient costs skyrocketing. I think people will become enraged or indifferent enough to allow the federal government to take over healthcare. How many times do we see people getting free prescriptions via government coverage that drive better cars than we do?
