Pharmacist Biodata Format for Hospital, Retail and Government Pharmacy Jobs

A pharmacy can only dispense medicines under a registered pharmacist, so the first thing an employer checks on your biodata is your qualification and your State Pharmacy Council registration number. After that it looks at where you have worked: a hospital pharmacy, a retail chemist or a manufacturing unit. This format puts those lines at the top.

When this format is the right one

Use it for a pharmacist, hospital pharmacist, retail pharmacist, pharmacy assistant, dispensing chemist or government pharmacist post that asks for a biodata, and for a chemist shop that wants your details on one page.
