yoz selina..this for you... :p
hmm...i was taught how to price goods,receive goods,ibt(interbranch transfer)goods,the difference of ordering from warehse/supplier,merchandising,cashiering,attend to customers(both calls and in-person)-must know and familiarize with the products here cos customers will ask you how to find this and that...some customers might even mistake you for the pharmacist and tell you long long story abt his/her medical problems and expect you to counsel him/her...i tried my best to tell wat i know but can always refer to real pharmacist lorh if dunno...
actually,you no need worry abt attachment here cos all the pharmacy assistants and the pharmacist here are nice...can always ask them if dunno...(got a bit of gossiping here among aunties but can ignore wan...)
hmm...pharmacist will test me on "pharmacology" lorh...hahah...she'll ask me to like learn on "cough and cold remedies" and etc then test me like that....
For dispensing to patients,there is a computer system to print out custom labels or prescription labels...can ask pharmacist to teach you..also got a system to check cost prices/selling prices of products...
gotta do opening and closing lorh...depends on whether you do AM shift-815am to 345pm or PM shift-230pm to 10pm..
basically, you'll be doing the pharmacy assistants' job plus learning abt what the pharmacist do/know at the same time...
one thing to take note,you have to remind the pharmacist to teach or guide you cos she will be busy until forget sometimes...also very hard to get her signature siah... :p

attachment here can be busy like hell when there's lotsa customers or alot of goods coming in but also certain times quite quiet and boring....
currently, i am doing pre-listing and stock-taking....that is to check expiry dates, write down every products we have and the quantity etc...
i guess you'll probably no need do cos the next stock-taking will be april ( i asked p.a.)...
i'm doing the same stuff everyday lorh...cashiering,attend to customers,merchandising,...only sometime interesting or funny things may happen...
like ppl wanting to buy condoms but cant find where it is yet refuses to tell you what they want when you ask them...or uncles want buy viagra or cialis yet kept saying not for themselves...even got fake prescriptions...got drug addicts so cant sell 29G needles...take note of what medications/dosages can or cant give infants and childrens..there's vitamin supplements too..some can give to infants and some cant so must know...customers will ask...
little by little...you'll learn when you get here...
