Can someone help me with a cover letter for a job?

We Answered:

Look on the Internet for advertisements for PT then reflect back the same language as they use in the ad to demonstrate that you have what they are looking for

For sample cover letters you can look here. http://www.bestcoverletters.com/

If you want someone to do your work, then they should also take the job for you.

What is the job description of an ultrasound technician?

We Answered:

Yes, you will likely have to go to a trade school like Western Career College for about an 8-12 month program. I went to see about being an ultrasound technician but I abandoned the idea after finding out that a big part of my job would be dealing with death. You have to tell women their babies are dead inside of them and find cancer in people who will not live. This is not something I am willing to deal with, therefore I will never be one. I became a Dental Assistant instead, studying to be a Dental Hygienist.

6 jobs for boots. (Science coursework)?

We Answered:

Do you mean, boots, as in shoes?

I am at a bit of a loss here. I can't imagine what else you might mean but I don't understand how pharmacists fit into the mix.

If you do mean shoes then how about these.

Steel workers
Electrical linemen
Cowboys
Warehouse men
Mining
Firefighters
Commercial Fishermen

Many jobs where hard physical work is required use steel toe boots for safety reasons.

Most plumbers
Carpenters
Forklift operators
etc.

If that helped, wonderful. If I missed the whole point can you help me out. I'll try again if you'll get me on track.

EDIT: OK, I missed the whole point, sorry. I went to the site you gave and they have a place to check on employment opportunities. Look into Marketing, Management and any sort of research they may do themselves. They will almost certainly list the requirements for the jobs available.

Good luck, unfortunately I have never been to one of their stores so I can't be of much help.

Questions on Becoming a Pharmacist?

We Answered:

I'm studying to become a pharmacist now! Sorry if my answer may not help you fully because I am only in my 2nd year now (out of 6).

It sounds like you would be great for a pharmacist. The courses I took my freshman year was math and science courses, which are the basic courses you will take in pharmacy school. One of the things I learned in my pharmacy convocations class (basically a class that introduces the career of pharmacy to noobs) is that pharmacists require being careful and also talking is important too.

Pharmacy technicians do not require as much extensive studying (and thus time) as pharmacists do. Pharmacists receive a PharmD which is a doctorate in pharmacy while pharmacy technicians can undergo training (I don't know more else about that job).

I applied to some pharmacy schools in New York. The programs were all pretty good. SUNY Buffalo I think was the top New York pharmacy school while St. Johns University and the University of Albany weren't as great. I currently am in Rutgers University in New Jersey, which also is a great school. There should be a site that lists the rankings of all the pharmacy school. Google it!

I have heard many stories such as a lot of people dropping out or transfering to different schools because the program was so hard. I heard that you will also have no social life as I go into my 3rd and 4th year, I will make six figures as soon as I graduate, and because the program is so hard, I just have to graduate and I'll still be desired by companies. Many of what people say is generally stuff they don't know much about. I'll tell you this for my first year (and maybe if you ask again I will tell you about my other years): It is challenging and it requires time and effort. My 1st year? It wasn't as TERRIBLE and IMPOSSIBLE as people said it was. You just have to balance your time wisely between playing and studying. However, many people did drop out of the first year already--about half of my pharmacy class!

Toni Said:

Pharmacy Technician jobs, what different kinds are there?

We Answered:

The positions listed are reasonably what they describe. There are several positions in a large pharmacy system where technicians are used, such as Durable Medical Supply (DMS), taking calls from and calling physicians offices to request/verify presriptions, working with those prescriptions which need an exceptiion to the insurance policy, etc.

Having worked as a pharmacy tech in a hospital and retail pharmacy, I feel that working with the routine medications in a retail or hospital pharmacy is a better starting position than the mechanical work of mail order pharmacy. But that is my opinion.
