If you attended a trade school for pharmacy technicians list that as well. Continuing education courses may also be listed.

List any certifications or affiliations that you may have with professional organizations. Many pharmacy technicians have taken the PTCB (Pharmacy Technician Certification Board) examination to be certified nationally. If you belong to any Pharmacy Technician's organization, list that as well.

Include a few references. While this is not required, a good reference can let the new potential employer know that you are hard working and dependable. Using a past employer as a reference can be useful as long as you left that job on good terms.

Prepare a cover letter for your completed resume. The cover letter should briefly tell the hiring manager why you are applying for the job and why you want for this particular employer. This gives you the chance to show your writing skills as well as 'sell' yourself to the hiring manager.

Include brief details of your work experience (such as saying 'I have over 6 years in retail pharmacy experience), and any license or certifications that you may have.


Sending a follow up letter or e-mail as a thank you is optional, but is considered to be a polite thing to do, whether or not you are hired for the job.

Do not make up facts or lie on your resume. Employers across all industries look into resumes to verify that information stated on the resume is in fact valid.
