Summary
I've been a Certified Pharmacy Technician for over 30 years. I'm retiring and looking for something different. I genuinely like people, and am very patient. I'm interested in part-time hours and a flexible schedule. The experiences as a pharmacy tech have been tremendous.
Accuracy and attention to detail are crucial when dealing with people's medications.
It's time for a change, and I'm looking forward to it.
