Internships

Are you guys working already? Since we finished FPGEE, I have started looking for internships just for preparations and it has been extremely hard as a foreign grad.

Big retail companies here in South Florida aren't posting jobs for foreign pharm interns. Hospitals don't even respond or don't want foreign grads. I am already frustrated and I haven't even received FPGEC.

I want to know :

1. if you guys are working (as techs or intern already),
2. what state are you working and;
3. how do you think I can navigate reaching out to potential employers?
4. What should ordinarily be the pay range so we know if we are being offered less?
5. I also heard it is very hard to get internships as foreign grads, is it true? Someone told me he spent an extra one year before he got a spot.
