The most recent job that I applied to was for a residency program. This is unlike many other jobs due to the nature of how it works. Programs are only available to students who are in their last year of pharmacy school and must go through a rigorous process of applying for these residency seats. The first part of the process includes recruitment where programs will provide information to all potential residents. The second process includes potential residents taking all of the information and figuring out what seats they would like to apply to and where they think they would learn the most. Thirdly, there are pre-interviews that can happen, which includes meeting certain people, part of the program and getting a better idea of what the job entails. Fourth, formal applications that are due where resident will submit all of their application information, and the program will decide whether or not they want to offer an interview. Then, program will offer an interview, then interview the candidate if they are able to schedule an interview during the time that is being offered. Lastly, both the interviewee and interviewers rank the candidates on a list which are sent to a national organization to match the candidates. unlike other jobs where the employer can reach out if they believe that, the employee will be a good candidate, the match process will match the prospective resident with the program.
