My temp contract has been extended. I’m relieved to be able to pay the bills, but after giving 70-80 shots a day, I literally dream about giving vaccines almost every night! Struggling to keep positive about finding a new permanent job - I was laid off at the end of April, have applied to over 60 jobs, had 6 interviews, and no offers. I can’t go back to chain retail - it damn near broke me in my 20’s, and it’s much worse now.

recommend looking into IT or mtm roles in insurance?

I’ve applied to several MTM positions, and not even made it to an interview. I haven’t applied to even more because they require 2-3 years experience.

What state are you in? I know some pharmacists doing work for Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson - basically post vaccine adverse event follow up.

I’m in New York, but hours away from the city. Fortunately my temp contract has been extended, but I’m pretty discouraged.

Well the temp contract was ended early - appointments dropped like a stone in early January. To add to the insult, I just got rejected for a retail position. I’m so discouraged and pretty anxious, too.

Hang in there! If you are open to moving states, there are more pharmacist jobs in places like Louisiana(only two Rx schools)…I know getting licensed is a hurdle, but it is one that you can work towards if you are open to moving. Another option is picking up a job that is healthcare-related in exchange for a great referral as you continue your search.

Have you looked into being an mtm pharmacist at Aspen Rx

I recommend changing your CV each time to include key words that appear on the job description and also gear your Cover Letter to include experience and characteristics that make you the ideal candidate. That way the HR software will choose your CV to bring to recruiter's attention and the Cover Letter will give you more consideration and/or seriousness for the role.

During my interview process I clearly stated my salary expectations of 95k-105k. They came back with an offer at 80k. Is it even possible for us to come closer to a better agreement with them being so low? All other aspects of the job are in line with what I'm looking for, so I really want to make this work.
