Salamander VMD, CPhT
Well, if nothing else, I’m at least accumulating a string of letters after my name.
I’ve applied for my first job as a CPhT today. It’s at a pharmaceutical service that supplies long term nursing care facilities, which need completely different packaging than home health care or hospitals. They want experience, but I think I fudged that nicely on the cover letter of the resume. I’d like the job because of its proximity to where I live, but there’s plenty of others to apply to.
Ironically, I have to hold back on how many resumes I send out. My unemployment requires two verifiable job applications a week for me to qualify. If I send out to all the jobs I find now, I won’t have any to send out to next week. There’s a job about an hour’s drive from here I’m eyeing up – they do veterinary compounding work, and while the drive would be hellacious, the blend of my backgrounds would be perfect for this place.
I spent hours on my resume today, getting it ready to submit. The Prof’s college has a person on staff specifically there to help the “over fifty crowd”, and she’s turned out to be a magnificent resource in pulling my new resume together. Wish I’d known she existed sooner, since you don’t have to be a student at the school to make use of her services (which are absolutely free).
It feels strange to be done with the class. I feel like I should be studying something.
your a far cry from a doctor, did you send out the emails?
She IS a doctor, you unauthenticated moron! She’s a doctor of veterinary medicine. Oh, and it’s you’re, the contraction of "you are," not your, signifying possession, you dimwit. One more thing, if you’re going to leave nasty comments on someone’s blog, you really need to take responsibility and say who you are. Leaving anonymous comments only means you are a coward.
Don’t worry, 404, it’s just our dear little DD troll. Every once in a while, when I get bored, I open up comments to non-hamiko users, just to see if the nitwit has gotten herself a life yet. I guess it shouldn’t be any surprise that she hasn’t.
And she’s right. I’m a far cry from a doctor. Doctors only have to study one species.
Yeah, and it’s so much easier for you to diagnose a problem since your patients can’t tell you where it hurts. Flippin’ trolls. We need to invent the perfect troll trap (humane, of course) and send them all back to Trollvillia after having them properly sterilized.
Congrats to you on the certs. Knew you could do it!
Why does it have to be humane?
Oh wait, I forgot. Pigs are included in the federal humane handling act.
