You do NOT need to go to college or take special classes of any kind to become a pharmacy tech!

Just start applying at retail chain pharmacies in your area. They usually offer PAID on-the-job training and you can get your license through your employer.

First off, There are some questions that an employee can not ask during an interview. Some questions are illegal to ask. You should do a search for your state. If you are still doing drugs and are required to take a test you should also find out what the guideline is on as far as “not being hired for a bad UA.

If you are clean from drugs and you feel it might be an issue you can always go ahead and let them know of your past and let them know you are clean, what you did to get that way ETC.

I wish you luck.

You don’t have to go to schoool to be a Pharm. Tech. It can be done OTJ, after 6 months you test for your certification. Your best bet is to try and get a job in the pharmacy at CVS, walgreens… Walmart offers a OTJ course.

Tech is a more responsible position. Actually supposed to know something about the product. Clerk does “clerical” jobs more money and bookwork oriented, but tech can also do similar when required

I’m a pharmacist.
I used to work in DC, we’d make ophthalmics for a MD surgeon, using cocaine. Had a big jar of it, we suspected one technician of scraping. One day, another pharmacist was working and a black guy came in with a gun, held her up stole the money, the cocaine, the Class IIs, smashed her head with his foot, she’s still disabled. Needless to say the pharmacy stopped making the ophthalmics.

I had another technician stealing anabolics. She’d over-order then keep the rest and sell them on the side.

I would NEVER let you work in my pharmacy. It’s not a profession for people with substance abuse control issues. It’s too tempting.

Comment on Pharmacy technician job requirements? by pharmstudent13

From my knowledge all you need for the job is to be a high school grad and pass the background check and drug test. I know that most people just say to apply on the company website for a job but when I wanted to get a job as a pharmacy tech about 2 years ago I actually talked to the pharmacy manager first and then after talking to her in person she told me to apply and I got the job. Most pharmacies need good and reliable people to work so it might help to be a little bit old fashion and try to just talk first because applications don’t always allow you to stand out. Hope that helps! Good luck
