Hi all,
Even after the FPGEE exam,I am struggling to get an internship in any pharmacy.I even have a green card status recently. I would appreciate, if anyone gives tips about the internship. I live in NJ which is saturated with pharmacists. Kindly give me some suggestions about the internship.

Thank you in advance
 
None of the people I know (who had green cards) had any problems getting an internship position. A couple of people who are on a dependent visa had problems finding an position but they moved to different states just to find a position. If you are not able to find a job in NJ you might think about moving to another state if that is an option. There are several pharmacies who need pharmacists desparately and they will hire you as an intern hoping that you would stay with them after you become a pharmacist.

Did u try w/ Riteaid or Walgreens? Best way to start is call your local pharmacy, and ask for who is the Pharmacy District Manager (PDM). And then start the conversation with him/her explaining your position.

Hi,

The best way, that I have found is to go to any pharmacy, talk to either the pharmacist or the pharmacy manager, explain your situation and they will probably tell you where to send out your resume.

Its the best way to make contacts initially. Thats what I have done and made contacts with Eckerd and Walgreens.

Try out all the pharmacies in your locality and hopefully someone will sponsor you for an H1B visa. Try out even the local pharmacies, which have no branches elsewhere. They may even sponsor you, but you may have to foot the bill for the lawyers.

All the best.
