Weronika Taraszka began her career in retail pharmacy, the only field she knew. But as life changed with the arrival of her son, she faced the challenges of maintaining a work-life balance. The rotating schedule of her retail position made it difficult to spend time with her family, and the stress was overwhelming. Weronica knew she needed a change.
Weronica took the leap and started exploring remote job opportunities. Despite initial doubts about finding a suitable position, she discovered a new world of possibilities. The prospect of working remotely, setting her own schedule, and potentially earning more than her current retail role ignited her determination.
Armed with newfound motivation, Weronica began her job search in earnest. She reached out to The Happy PharmD to refine her resume and LinkedIn profile, and with guidance she transitioned from casual browsing to serious job hunting.
Weronica’s journey wasn’t without its challenges. She sent out over a hundred applications before working with us, facing the daunting task of navigating the job market. However, her perseverance paid off when she landed her second interview for a remote position.
With the support of coaching and interview preparation, Weronica aced her interviews. Within a month of starting her job search, she received an offer for a remote role as a Vaccine Navigator and Account Specialist. The offer came as a pleasant surprise, surpassing her expectations both financially and in terms of work-life balance.
Weronica attributes her success to the personalized support she received from The Happy PharmD community. She found comfort in connecting with others who understood the struggles of job seeking and appreciated the informal yet supportive environment. The private online community provided a safe space to share experiences and celebrate milestones along the way.
Now, as Weronica embarks on her new career journey, she’s eager to pay it forward. She plans to stay active in the community, offering support and guidance to fellow pharmacists navigating their career paths.
Weronica’s story is a testament to the power of perseverance, resilience, and the value of seeking support when embarking on a career change. If you’re ready to take control of your pharmacy career, join The Happy PharmD community today and start your journey toward success.
