The Prescription for a Great Career

A Pharmacy Technician is usually a pharmacist's right-hand man (or woman). They are exceptional listeners, are always alert, and pay attention to the finest details (like why there's an incorrect $0.83 charge on their phone bill). They are also very responsible—filling the prescription with the right dose of the right pill could be the difference between making a patient feel a whole lot better, or a whole lot worse.
