I am a UFCW Local 881 member and I have been a pharmacy technician for 8 months at Jewel Osco #3296 in Chicago, IL. I started in high school. I applied and did a training course through Jewel Osco to become certified to become a pharmacy tech.
I love my job. I get to work with people every day and you always learn something new.
My advice to anyone who wants to become a pharmacy tech is to ask a lot of questions. No question is a dumb question. Before here, I worked at a pet store, because I’m an animal lover, and a garden center, because I love plants. When I started, I didn’t know anything about pharmacy. You learn through asking questions.
