If your tutor is good, he/she will tell you to stay 2 weeks on the counter, 4 weeks in dispensary and they will make sure you get enough time in each. However, I’ve heard and experienced that summer students can get left on the counter for longer, just because they are short staff.
Make sure ur not in that situation and be pushy! Show them what you want to achieve…
Hope that helps…  |
Thanks once again for the advice. I was also told that I would be shown the business side of things as well, but not entirely sure of what this would include? Can anyone explain what sort of things would be in the business part?
