Pharmacy Professional’s Guide to Resumes, CVs, and Interviewing, (The) 3rd Edition

"A variety of books are available to help people present themselves in the best light as they pursue new jobs; however, resources currently available do not focus specifically on the field of pharmacy. This book fills that niche for students, residents, and pharmacists in a variety of practice settings, as well as pharmacy technicians."
—Kristi W. Kelley, PharmD
Harrison School of Pharmacy, Auburn University

"With its comprehensive coverage of career planning, career goals, resumes, CVs, and interviewing, the third edition of The Pharmacy Professional’s Guide to Resumes, CVs, and Interviewing can be used as a guide for student pharmacists, pharmacists, and technicians alike when obtaining that first or subsequent job, residency, or fellowship positions."
—Katherine S. Hale, PharmD, BCPS
