jgwallace3 in Berkeley, California said: I am a pharm resident in California and am looking to know what states have the greatest need for staff pharmacists coming out of residency. Having spoken to California-based recruiters, I know the market was dead this year for getting a job. Assuming 2010 isn't going to be much better, where are the biggest shortages where my chance for employment is greatest?

I have several opporunities available on the west coast. Please feel free to contact me at gwyn.williams@theadiregroup.com

At Christmas I was told by my technician that my hours would be given to full-timers and I'd only get hours if any where left over in the pool. So I am looking to relocate since the job market here in Mass is horrible. Which states are in greatest need ?

Believe me, there is NO shortage of pharmacists in TN. AND TN just opened 4 or 5 more pharmacy schools about 3 years ago. If anything there is a glut of pharmacists in TN. Florida is load with jobs though

I moved to MA from the Midwest. Unless you have a hospital residency, don't come here. Oncology Anticoagulation or Transplant inpatient residency experience are the jobs in demand. No shortage of RPh's here. I can't get an interview in MA with a clean record, Master's Degree and clinical experience. If you are a BS pharmacist, nobody wants you. I was told by a pharmacist, who is a recruiter, that I should "hide" my BS degree on my resume. Going back for the PharmD.

I moved for my husband's job. I am looking to work part-time thought part-time would be easier to find, will take full-time gladly if offered. Have some LTC work lined up in the Midwest. Will miss my husband and son.

A note of sad humor, my inbox is full of advertisements for on-line pharmacy technician training.

I have been looking for a pharmacy job in Pa for over a year. I am licensed in a few other states but if anyone has any information as to which states are really in need I could use the help. I have no problem with relicensing or relocating. Help..
