I was a pharmacy tech in high school and during my first two years in college for Walgreens. It was okay. Good luck on your interview. It's really just about good customer service and being okay working on a pill counting assembly line.

It was a fun high school/college gig.

If you have a genuine interest in pharmacy do your best to let that show. customer service is important when working retail.

My best advice is to take the experience and go to pharmacy school. Don't know how old you are but in 6 years you can make 100k. All the pre-reqs can be done at a community college

The experience of working in a pharmacy for a couple years will put you ahead staring pharmacy school.

I'm trying to get into this field. Somebody tell me what I gotta do just to get in at the entry level. I know I need some certifications. Help a brother out.

Pharmacy is definitely a good field to go into. Retail has more opportunities but i think hospital pays more. it's all about customer service like everyone says. and wanting to advance to better things. pharmacists are going to constantly be in high demand. especially now with the baby boomers all reaching or about to reach retirement age. don't know the stats but that's lots of people and money being spent on medication. people gonna always be sick. anybody can be certified and take the test. depends on your state since each is different. shouldn't be much different for each state, just the laws on required certification. that's one of my main goals. i have the books and everything. just need to study them and take that test.

Look up local trade schools or even find a school online. Some places pay for training and certs. I'm gonna tell you now, lots of bs to learn how to count pills.

Here's some links I used while I was starting out.
