 Re: Summer placements
Hi im in a similar situation but im a second year in Bristol. I did a summer placement last year for Boots but due to a problem with my application I didnt get in this year. However lots of my friends who didnt do placements last year were accepted on this year. Its only your first year so dont worry about not getting any experience in a pharmacy, employers know that it can be difficult to get experience if you are unqualified. However saying that it is definetly a big plus to get some experience before your pre-reg to put on CVs, and it also helps alot with learning uni work. Actually putting what you learn at uni into practice helps alot. If you really wana do some work this summer in a pharmacy it maybe worth phoning up or droping by and asking about any vacancies. But really I wouldnt worry if you cant, just enjoy your summer. |
