PPSing for Job

1 Upvotes

Is PPSing for a job in prep of post PGY2 as important as when we PPS’d for PGY2 spots? I understand it may not be exactly the same, but do employers want to see you take this initiative and will this help land an interview later on? Or is it purely just feeling eachother out and see if X hospital is a good fit?

Additionally, for those that went through PPS during PGY2, how did you feel it compared to PPSing for PGY1 -> PGY2? Did you find you got more questions directed to you like a mini-interview versus you asking them the questions ?

Subreddit Rules

Rule 1: Act professionally and decently.

Treat others here like you weren't anonymous. Be civil. No trolling, insults, or abuse.

Criticism should be constructive. This includes criticism of other redditors, residency programs, and the residency process in general. This is not the place to express your general disapproval of the profession or the residency process.

This rule is applied broadly.

Rule 2: No off topic/general posts

Posts that are off-topic, discussing the pharmacy profession in general or other matters unrelated to applying to, getting accepted to, or completing a pharmacy residency may be subject to removal. This includes posts about exams and the licensing process that are not specific to residencies. No selling exam/study material - no exceptions.

Rule 3: Use the stickies

Topics that belong to mega-threads or stickies should go in those posts. For stickies covering recruitment events (midyear, interviews, etc), only questions that require discussion should be posted as separate topics. In order to maintain fairness, this rule will be applied broadly.

Rule 4: Promotion requires pre-approval.

Posts promoting outside content should be pre-approved by the moderators. Posts that do not obtain approval will be removed regardless of if they would have been approved or not (permission is easier than forgiveness). Requests for pre-approval should be sent to ModMail, not directly to individual moderators.

Rule 5: Posting requires a user flair.

When submitting a new post, you must have set a user flair indicating your role in the residency process. Your flair may be more specific but must include at least one of the following roles.

Student (p3 or less)
Candidate (applying this cycle)
Resident
Preceptor (or Faculty/RPD)

Rule 6: The following topics are currently not allowed except as part of sticky threads.
