Pharmacy assistant resume questions
Where does TESDA's Pharmacy Services NC III go on my resume?
Put it under Certificates, right under your objective. Write the certificate name and the year you got it. Leave it off if you don't have it yet.
What do I write if I have no drugstore experience?
Lead with your education. Then list any store, canteen or clinic work, and say what you counted, packed or recorded.
Which skills should I pick for a pharmacy assistant resume?
Pick the ones you can prove. Careful with names and doses, polite with customers and neat with stock records are good picks.
Should I put my birthday or a photo on it?
Leave your birthday off. Since 2016, Republic Act 10911 has made it unlawful for employers in the Philippines to require your age or birth date while you apply. Leave the photo off too, unless the job post asks for one.
Should I send it as a PDF or a Word file?
PDF, unless the job post asks for Word. A PDF looks the same on every screen. Put your name in the file name, like Kimberly-Javellana-Resume.pdf.
