    So, the owner of this specific store posted it. As much as I hate how Loblaws has been capitalizing on peoples’ needs, this isn’t Loblaws, it’s the owner of one store.

    Do you know that for sure? I found this from seven months ago, if it’s the same manager, he seems to be getting away with it:

    Pharmacy Assistant vs Volunteer

    I’ve applied to about 15 SDM branches across Toronto for the past month until today. My applications were mixed. Even if I applied online, I also visit the branch to personally drop my resume. There was this one branch who told me that it’s nearly impossible to get inside SDM as a pharmacy assistant without Canadian pharmacy experience. I was a licensed pharmacist in my home country and I practiced clinical pharmacy for over 2 years.

    According to him, the best way to get in the system and their records will be as a volunteer. He was kinda of disappointed with how the system works, claiming that SDM encourages volunteerism to save a lot on training costs. Is it true that being a volunteer will help me out once there is a vacancy or an opening for a pharmacy assistant slot? Can I use it on my future applications as well?

    Šilovs won the mad dash to the puck, [btw]!

    Oh, thank fuck!

    I recall watching a few games at 4am when I lived in the UK. It was hard to know whether to stay up or sleep and set an alarm…

    Yeah, my alarm for work is 4am…so not even an option 😭 the only exceptions I make are on my birthday(late Feb, and it’s been 6 years since there wasn’t a game literally on my birthday) and if we make it fairly far for the cup…
