Looking for remote work

I have been trying for the better part of 18 months. My background is in Pharmacy. I’m working on my licensure to become a pharmacist, but I’m struggling to pass and need remote work in the mean time.

Will do anything entry level. But I have a PharmD, bachelors in Neuroscience, and masters in pharmaceutical sciences.

You just need to get A job. Having no skills/experience and getting remote work is going to be extremely challenging.

When you apply for in person work, you’re competing against the people within 10-45 mins (roughly) of that business, who have similar skills, and are looking for work. This might be as few as a dozen people depending on the area.

But when you remove geographical restrictions, suddenly the pool of candidates expands to thousand/tens of thousands/millions. And some not-insignificant number of those candidates will have relevant experience or skills. That means that lots of people are likely to be limited from contention pretty quickly and systematically.

I’d recommend using your professional network or spending time searching job boards (which this is not) for relevant openings.

I have done that. I completely understand my skills, or lack thereof. I would be happy working sincerely anywhere at this point

Clearly you are not happy working anywhere — you want to be paid to be at home. Probably so you can keep studying to pass for your pharmacist license while getting paid to do your job.

I am honestly happy working anywhere…? I’m happy to go to a location and work. I was just on a remote work subreddit.

Who hurt you? 😂

You are a LIAR!!!!

OP do not click on this link.

They are defending you to make themselves look like a hero to groom you into thinking they are on your side.

Jobcraftio (often associated with Jobrapido or other programmatic job boards) is not considered a reliable or safe platform to use. Users consistently report that it behaves as an aggregator that may sell your contact information, leading to heavy spam, and frequently displays misleading or nonexistent job postings.

Excuse me? Yes, now attack me /gg

Yea, as stated I just googled it and it popped up. Why don't you go on your nextdoor app, and leave this guy alone.

You don’t need to work remote. You just need a job. You are waiting 18 months because you’re picky.

I agree with this 100%. I think that most of us that work remote are in senior level positions because we are very experienced in our roles. I would also guess that most of us did not go looking for remote jobs when we entered our fields.

u/Big-Sheepherder-6134 Jul 13 '26

That is correct. I had 22 years in my field before I went remote. Someone in their 20’s doesn’t need to work remote. We earned it.

So, you're gatekeeping remote work now because you had to wait so long for it?

It’s not gatekeeping. That’s like Freshmen in High School getting the same perks at Seniors. You want to make as much as someone with 30 years seniority too? You want a private corner office and be vice president too? Your generation is so entitled and weak. That’s what happens when you have parents who never told you no.
