...is so frigging hard now!
I have several years of retail pharmacy experiences, and I have been searching for a position at a company other than WAG/CVS in the past few months. Even following job search website updates religiously, I find full-time pharmacist jobs very scarce, and most companies seem to offer only part-time or per-diem positions, even those that require a residency background, with no employment benefits. For every position that I applied to, a hoard of other pharmacists are rushing to compete for the same position (based on how many applicants that the HR told me they had to interview).
We all know that oversupply of new pharmacists looking for jobs are aggravating pharmacist job market, but some pharmacists already with jobs are a making the job hunt for other difficult too. I feel frustrated to hear pharmacits holding on to two or even three jobs at the same time. They either are not satisfied with a full-time pharmacist income or want to grab on to multiple jobs because of insecurity about future job market.
Just feel very frustrated now and what to get this out of my chest
