Presentwho I am now
Good morning, sir, I'm Aarti Bhosale, a registered pharmacist with three years at a retail pharmacy chain in Nashik. I hold a B.Pharm, and I handle dispensing, billing and patient counselling.
Pastwhat I have done
In my first year, we were writing off a lot of medicines that expired on the shelf. I started a monthly review of near-expiry stock, moved those items to the front and talked to suppliers about returns. Our expired-stock losses fell by about forty percent. I also counsel around a hundred and twenty patients a month on dosage and interactions, and I check every prescription twice.
Futurewhy this role
I'd like to move into a hospital pharmacy, where I can work with doctors and learn clinical pharmacy. Your hospital's pharmacy team does ward rounds, and that is the exposure I'm looking for. I can join in thirty days, and I'm happy to bring my council registration and my B.Pharm marksheet for verification today.
Short version

3 things to include
Registration and degree
Council registration and B.Pharm together are the first screening point in pharmacy hiring.
A stock or error figure
Forty percent fewer expiry losses is a result that a store owner or hospital head notices.
Counselling
Counselling patients on dosage shows the clinical side of dispensing.
2 things to avoid
Saying you only 'sell medicines'
Dispensing is a regulated, careful job. Describe the checks you make.
Casual talk about prescriptions
Even harmless stories about patients can worry a pharmacist-in-charge about privacy.
