new grad advice
I graduated this year and recently got fully licensed. I have been looking at jobs since I graduated and have seen how terrible the market it, but now I am officially stressed. Before it was the lack of post-grad positions, which I needed, now it is the lack of pharmacist positions, which I need now. I recently applied to my old company and did not get the job and it was disheartening. I feel like no one is vouching for me and I don't know if I should reach out and ask the hiring team for feedback? I am not afraid of constructive feedback, I am however afraid of people being rude and completely negative over it. I see multiple positions open for the same location at CVS or Walgreens and am hesitant to apply to them because it is the same location and they have around 3 staff positions available plus PIC positions available, so it must be bad, right? At least that's my theory. The gap in my resume is also concerning me. I feel like the more time passes, the less training and experience I get, and the less potential employers may see in me. If anyone has sound feedback and advice, please feel free to discuss.
