The Characteristics of Effective Pharmacists: Patience

There are many characteristics that the individual must have and display in order to efficiently practice as a pharmacist. Many of the characteristics that must be displayed by pharmacist are intangible in nature, and have been developed over many years of education and experiences with others. Due to the intense interpersonal relationships that pharmacists have with their clients, it is important that clients show a higher measure of character and proficiency in their profession than is required by many in other professions. Pharmacists and other medical professionals are viewed as leaders by many of their clients as well as others in the community, and as such are required to demonstrate a higher level of character and integrity than we found in society as we know it.


5 Ways to win every interaction in job search

To secure your next opportunity it is important to win each interaction with the hiring organization.  This begins with a strong, effective resume, through to a professional negotiation of an offer.  Candidates should take advantage of support, professional or otherwise to increase the likelihood of success.


Interviews - What not to Wear

Some of you will probably be familiar with the TV show ð€“ ð€ÇWhat not to wearð€Ý.  Essentially it is about taking people (admittedly usually women) and showing them why they shouldnð€™t wear pretty much everything in their wardrobes.  More importantly it is about giving them tips on what style, cut colour etc. they should wear and what is appropriate to various situations.

Well one of the most important places to get this decision right is at a job interview.  What you wear at an interview may not be the only deciding factor or technically might not be a factor at all when the interviewers make a decision on who to hire but it is generally accepted that a first impression will be formed within the first 20 seconds of an interview.  And first impressions do count!

So what should you not wear?

Well jeans (and denim skirts) are a definite no!  I really donð€™t care what the job is, jeans are never appropriate attire.  They say comfort and casual.  They do not say interested, respectful or professional.

T-shirts and any type of sports clothes are pretty much out too.  The only exception to this might be for women who want to wear a smart t-shirt type top under a good suit.  Hawaiian shirts are not a runner either.  I am all for adding a bit of colour but there is no need to blind your interviewers!

And, what about miniskirts and hot pants?  Well if you need me to answer that question are you really up to the job? 

For most formal interviews men should wear a proper shirt, with full sleeve, together with a suit and tie.  The tie is an opportunity to add a bit of personality but donð€™t get too carried away.  The only exception would be when you are interviewing with an organisation that adopts a much more relaxed approach.  Then smart casual might be more suitable.  In all cases if in doubt opt for formal attire.

For women, interview attire is a little more flexible.  Appropriate interview wear can range from trousers suit, skirt suit, dress with jacket, to a more mix and match approach.  Again though, colours should be understated.  In additions cuts should be tailored and formal and shoes should be neither completely flat or ð€Çkiller heelsð€Ý.  Finding the right balance is often difficult but do remember that you are going for an interview.  It is important that you create an impression of professionalism and instil confidence.  Try to match your clothes to the company with whom you are interviewing.

It may all seem very obvious but youð€™d be surprised at just how many people donð€™t dress appropriately for an interview.  Donð€™t forget.  Your job is to sell yourself, including your skills, experiences, attributes and personality.  So donð€™t let yourself down.  Make sure you know what not to wear for interview!  And be one step closer to getting that job.  This is just one of the issues I address in my new EBook called ð€ÇTackling the Myths ð€“ Interview Guide for Winnersð€Ý.
