My husband moved to the US in 2004 and is currently looking for a new job. He has been employed with the same company since he moved here. It isn't a very good paying job so of course he wants a higher paying job. He has a bachelor's degree in pharmacy. The problem is, he's not licensed in the US. The only experience he has outside of being a pharmacist is being a dish washer at the restaurant he works at. I mean, he can do other stuff, technically, and he's very good at whatever he does, but what kind of company is going to hire him with basically no experience (technically)? And how would he present himself to a large company, like P&G? He's got the education and the smarts to work for a company like this....but how would he give off an impression to get noticed?

I'm asking because he works until midnight everyday. I'm just trying to help out. We live in Cincinnati, OH

He got his degree in Dakar, Senegal (Africa)

As long as it is legal for him to work in the US, I don't see why he couldn't make an appointment to speak with the head Pharmacist at P&G or wherever he can find one that will talk to him and steer him in the right direction. Perhaps something as simple as taking an exam could have him licensed and up and running. The only way to find out is to make an appointment with someone who knows for sure which route he should take.
In the meantime, if he is looking for another stream of income, I know of an excellent home business in health and wellness, which was developed by a Pharmacist, Master Herbalist and world's leading Nutritionist. This may be something for him which he can legally do in the US.
Best of luck to you!

If he graduated before January 2003 with the B.Pharm, he can still easily become licensed.
If he graduated after that date, he'll have to get a PharmD, and there are special programs for that. Both Western U and NOVA offer that program.

Hi..
I think it's all a matter of preparation.
Decide on the target..what do you want to achieve?
Now look at what you have to do to get there.
Before You Apply:
Research the work you want to do.
Find out whether you have to do anything else to qualify.
Find out about your employer..ring them ask questions, write them a letter.
Create your own set of questions and answers.
Practise your interview skills
