    Pharmacy Technician

    Pharmacists are experts in medicine. In a pharmacist job you fill prescriptions, customize mixed medicines, help doctors decide which medications to use, keep patients from taking multiple drugs that interact badly and educate consumers about how to use medications safely. They also give information and look out for patients, physicians, and other health sections on the selection dosages, interactions, and side effects of medication. They also monitor the health and progress of those patients to make sure that they are using their medications safely and effectively. The actual mixing of ingredients to form medications is a small part of a pharmacist's practice because most medicines are produced by pharmaceutical companies in standard dosages and drug delivery forms. Most pharmacists work in a community setting such as a retail drugstore, or in a healthcare facility such as a hospital. Pharmacists in community pharmacies dispense medications, counsel patients on the use of prescription and over-the-counter medications, and advise physicians about medication therapy. They also give information about general health topics such as diet, exercise, and stress management, and provide information on products. Also they complete third-party insurance forms and other paperwork.…

    Pharmacy Technician

    did not choose the career path as a pharmacy technician it tend to choose me. It seemed to be the right career for me because I’m more of a behind the scene type of person rather than in the spotlight. I really like to do office type of work and to work with different types of medication. I also love to learn what the different types of medication are for and also used for rather than to be out on the floor of a hospital dealing with certain situations that makes me squeamish. I feel this is the right job for me for a lot of different reasons. One is I love helping people feel better , two I also enjoy a work environment that at my own paste.

    Speaking With Confidence

    I can do that by knowing my audience, the more I can anticipate their reactions to my speech, and the more comfortable I will be delivering my message. The thing that I personally have to stop doing is procrastination, because of that my last speech that I presented class was a huge mess. Fear of speaking leads to delay preparing our speeches last minutes. The lack of thorough preparation…

    Personal Narrative: Welcome To Public Speaking

    It was my point of view on the death penalty, so naturally it was a touchy subject to begin with. The nature of the topic made it more difficult for me to execute (no pun intended) my speech. I walked up to the podium, fixed my papers, and started reading. The class was silent. It felt like I was reading for hours, but it took me only 10 minutes. At the end of the speech, my teacher asked for opinions and critiques. One boy said he agreed with my point of view. Another girl said, "I admired how passionate you were about what you were saying." That comment built up my non-existent confidence. It made me come to terms with my problem. I then made it my personal mission to find a solution to this problem, or maybe I was still stuck in my Geometry class from first period, who knows. We did more and more presentations, sometimes alone and sometimes with a partner. My public speaking teacher was also a Drama teacher, so she wanted to incorporate a little part of her Drama class. The assignment was to read a monologue and act it out. Now, public speaking was hard enough for me, but acting in front of people was on a whole different level. I managed to complete the monologue without having a panic attack, so that was a good sign. By the time the school year was over, I had gotten more confident in my presentations. I could talk in front of a class without resembling a tomato! Mission…

    Speech Tips

    I hate being nervous when speaking. I would make sure that I had an ample supply of water available to soothe my ever-drying mouth; I would make sure that I had a portable microphone so I could walk around to minimize nervous energy. I would know my material like the back of my hand, by doing so I will come across as professional. I would arrive early to the location to where I am giving the speech. I will arrive early and walk around the room including the speaking area. I could stand at the lectern speak into the microphone; maybe walk around where the audience will be getting a feel for the room. If possible, I would greet some of the audience as they arrive and chat with them. It is easier to speak to a group of friends than to a group of strangers. Choose one member of my audience and dedicate my whole presentation to him or her. Just assume that not everyone else is paying attention. When someone asks me a question, change your focus to that person and answer the question as if the two of you are in a coffee shop chatting away. Isn’t that the most relaxing way to handle a crowd? I think these are some good ideas to get over being nervous. I scored higher than I thought I would, I know paying attention in a meeting or at a conference is rather easy but sometimes, the most insignificant things can distract me. I have seen many excellent speakers on the TED talks. A good speaker makes a considerable difference when someone is passing on a good amount of good quality information. I know if a speaker is not prepared and has a hard time, getting his point across, I can really become distracted or even uninterested. I remember learning how to be a better listener when I was in Boot Camp. The drill instructors really reinforced their techniques to make sure each series of Marines learned exactly what it was to become better than the class before you. Those methods would seem harsh and barbaric to those who would be looking from the outside but at the time, it made…

    When the fear of public speaking is present, it is overall easy to overcome. The article How to Conquer Public Speaking Fear, written by Morton C. Orman, M.D. explains how practicing the ten principles with practice can help you overcome public speaking fear. Principle 1 states that public speaking is not inherently stressful, although thousands of human beings have learned to speak without stress, I disagree that I’ll ever have the feeling of having little to no stress when it comes to public speaking. Principle 2 states that you don’t have to be brilliant or perfect to succeed. I agree with this principle because at the end of the day people are looking for something of value from your speech. Principle 3 explains how you only need two or…
