I got here a year ago and yes it's pretty dang hard to get a job. I worked in a call center back in Manila but I couldn't get a simple telemarketing job over here! :bonk:

Now i'm 7 months pregnant and about to pop out. The entire months I was looking for job no luck! Yes medical field is a good choice I'm currently getting my CNA Cert and I'm about to finish soon.

But I gotta tell you guys, this is United States and there so much you can do while seeking for job. All kinds of programs are available through online. And since I was stuck at home for a while I've learned to do these things and to my surprise I'm a couple hundred bucks richer! :dance:

You just have to make research and research and more research! LOL

I still plan to keep all my home based jobs even if Im already working. Believe me it works! :thumbs:

^ What does it take to get re-credentialed as a pharmacist here? If I were you I'd be focusing my energy and time on that, and not waste time with pharmacy tech or cashier jobs

i have already applied for pharm.d but i will get admission in june and school starts at september....but as we all know pharmacist get handsome salary... like tht i need 80,000$ for 3 yrs pharm.d course... unless i get pharm.d i cant work as pharmacist so i hv to search pharmacy tech jobs..... and its still time to go to school so i wanna earn some money of my own so at least i can help my poor husband a little... so any job is fine as its matter of one year only.. then i will be pharmacist... its ironic tht they dont consider our degree otherwise i am reg. pharmacist of india and have worked a year in pharma industry plus i did my WES eveluation of my degree here and its equivalent to US bachelors degree.. noone is ready to consider all this.... wht shd i do?
