Working Women's Wardrobe Guide

Understanding the rules and etiquette that applies to business attire can be the difference between success in a job interview or job placement and failure. Women's business attire should be understated, good quality, body-appropriate and comfortable. Tight-fitting, translucent, bright and worn-looking clothes are not acceptable business attire and will translate badly in a business environment.

Suits for all Seasons

Suits are the staple of proper business attire. The Pasadena Independent School District business etiquette website states that for women, wool suits are the best choice in winter, fall and spring. Summer suits can be made from cotton or linen. Proper fitting is essential for business attire, so suits should be professionally fitted, if possible--this will give the most professional look to business attire and will also provide optimum comfort. Avoid tight suits, bright colors and bold patterns that may be too distracting--black, gray, navy, taupe, dark green and burgundy are colors that work in a business environment. Pinstripe and, to a lesser degree, houndstooth patterns are acceptable.

Considering a Pharmacy Career? We Have You Covered!

As we noted earlier this week, the Kansas Board of Regents has approved our Pharmacy Technician class and we're accepting student applications now. The course is available nationwide. Pharmacy jobs are growing by leaps and bounds, and entry level salaries and benefits can be quite generous. It's also a stable profession and with continuing education opportunities (usually paid by an employer), you can expect to make a career in the field.  Our inaugural class starts October 18th, so sign up now to jump start the next stage of your career!

If you're not quite ready to take the plunge as a Pharmacy Technician, we also offer Pharmacy Assistant training. This 45-hour class will prepare you for an entry-level job in a pharmacy setting. It's a great way to test the waters and see if pharmacy work might be something you would enjoy. It's also a good stepping stone to the Pharmacy Technician class. The Pharmacy Assistant class is open enrollment, so you can start as soon as you order your textbook and are ready to begin. From that point, you'll have 90 days to complete the course, and you may access it any time that is convenient for you. This is perfect for full-time workers or parents who want to increase their earning potential and need the flexibility of an online class.

Both Pharmacy classes make you eligible to take the Pharmacy Technician Certification Examination (PTCE.) Candidates that pass the PTCE are permitted to use the Certified Pharmacy Technician credential, "CPht." The PTCB certification program is the only pharmacy technician certification program accredited by the National Commission of Certifying Agencies (NCCA). What are you waiting for? Get started on a pharmacy career today!
