The elements of an effective pharmacist resume
All successful resumes for pharmacy professions have some things in common. You can check your current resume right now and evaluate your interview chances:
It reflects qualifications required in a job posting
Look for Requirements/Required qualifications in a job listing. Make sure you meet the minimum qualifications requirements and that your resume lists all of them. Otherwise, your resume will be tossed.
You may find there something like:
- Registered Pharmacist in the state
- 3+ yrs of experience as a Clinical Pharmacist
- Pharm.D. degree
- Knowledge of pharmacy information systems
Put all of those qualifications closer to the top of the page. Thus, you will pass an applicant tracking system and get your application reviewed by a human recruiter.
It is up to 2 pages long
Pharmacy graduates and interns, as well as career switchers, should apply with a one-page resume. Such length is sufficient to present the experience you have so far. Experienced pharmacists and managers (7+ yrs of experience) can use a 2-page document if the second page is necessary to describe all jobs in detail.
Also, do not confuse between the resume and the CV. If the research institution or a hospital requests a CV from you, it can be as many pages as it takes to describe your academic qualifications.
It has a well-developed skills section
Our professional resume writer recommends using a Skills section. It's good to list all your hard skills and it's very ATS-friendly. Organize skills by sections (information systems, software, programming languages, foreign languages, etc.).
List up to 16 skills and focus on the relevant ones. Do not include skills that everyone has, i.e. teamwork, Microsoft Office, email, or social media.
It has a resume summary (or a strong objective)
Summary of qualifications is the perfect place to sum up what you've achieved as pharmacist and what you can bring to the table if hired. Focus on facts rather than self-descriptions:
- 5+ years of experience in dispensing medications
- trained 4 pharmacy technicians, improving customer service by 15%.
You may use an objective if you're just out of school or are switching to a pharmacist from a different industry. In this case, our professional writers recommend that you write what kind of job you're after, what education you got, and what soft skills make you a good candidate.
It presents some relevant accomplishments
Employers prefer specific achievements over job duties. Examples of accomplishments are: associates trained, money saved, customer service improved, or new practices implemented. Add figures where it's possible to illustrate your impact.
It lists the needed education
Pharmacists spend over 6 years getting a degree and then continue their education. Don't forget to include your medical schools, licenses and certifications, for example:
- Bachelor of Pharmacy
- Advanced Cardiac Life Support Certification
- Registered Pharmacist, New York state, etc.
It's free from grammar and punctuation mistakes
Pharmacist resume writing should be free from errors. According to statistics, 59% of recruiters reject resumes with poor grammar or typos. Read your pharmacy resume line by line to fix all mistakes. Then, read it aloud to make sure that every sentence makes sense and adds value.
What is the cost of a professional resume?
Some websites offer resume writing at the price of $300 or even $500. Yet, it is possible to receive a high-quality resume without spending hundreds of dollars. Thanks to our remote work model, we at ResumePerk.com offer quality services while keeping our prices relatively low.
You can order custom resume writing at $117. This includes writing, tailoring your resume to a target pharmacy position, and ATS-friendly design.
