Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Leon, I went through the same issue when I was being considered for my current Tech. position at another major drug store chain. This is how it 'played out' for me. I take two controlled substances daily for ADD. It took 3 weeks for Corporate to call me back at home about my positive urine test. All I had to do was participate in a conference call with one of the Corporate Physicians and my Pharmacist. They just want to know that you have a current script for what you tested positive for and a good explanation of why you take it. You should 'pester' or show interest to the store GM and the PIC of the Pharmacy to 'remind' them that you are still interested. Persistance will pay off for you as it shows to them that you REALLY want to work for the 'Corporation'... whether you do or not. Good luck and keep us posted!!

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Sorry, my misinterpretation. Some employers do not begin an interview process until they drug screen. But I do think most drug screen after they have interviewed you to save money. Depends upon how big and how busy the store or chain is. Since offer for a job is already there, but contingent upon drug test being negative, IF you do not hear from them within a week call them back to ask when will you be notified when to begin work. Let us know after you begin work, how you like it. Keep us posted! Congrats! Jeanetta Mastron CPhT BS Founder/Owner > > I applied for a job the pharmacy at > > walmart.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 ok I haven't received a call about my job after the drug test. It's been two weeks. I called my employer and he asked who i wanted to talk to the pharmacist or the manager, I didn't know which so i said the pharmacist. It was busy and the phone hung up. I'm thinking about driving up there and ask them should i be notified when to start working. Would anything happen if i bother them too much? I hope they call me soon because I'm heading to UT in January and I want to get a little experience. Also, if anyone here goes to UT majoring in pharmacy, hook this freshman up. thanks .

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Great! YES by all means, face to face establishes a memory of you so if and when they do have an opening they may recall you and hire. Making that personal connection can do a number of things. And you just may find someone who says 'well we are not hiring, but a friend of mine is or a store down the street it or ??? " What do you have to lose? Practice interview techniques. Learn the most common type questions. See the resume building tutorials of this site.
