Job Title: Clinical Pharmacist

Location: Abuja

Core Job Functions
Dispense prescriptions: This is the "filling, licking and sticking" most people imagine when they conjure a mental image of a pharmacist counting out tablets, preparing a bottle label and handling medications to patients.
Communicate with prescribers: Any time a prescription order is unclear or potentially harmful for a patient, you need to confirm the dosage and formulation (e.g., liquid or tablet), as well as whether brand name product is required or if you can substitute a generic equivalent.
Ensure patients' safety: Check each patients’ medication record every time he or she gets a new or refill prescription filled. This is the best way for a pharmacist to prevent potentially dangerous interactions between drugs.
Counsel patients: This involves more than informing about adverse reactions and interactions with other medications, food, alcohol and other beverages like grapefruit juice. Counseling includes training patients how and when to take doses, following up with patients to see if medications are working, sharing tips on how to minimize side effects while maximizing benefits and listening to all of a patient's concerns.
Work with patients on general health: Maintaining health requires more than taking prescription medications, Pharmacists can help patients heal and avoid getting sick by sharing advice on using nonprescription remedies, taking health supplements such as vitamins, using herbal and natural health products, exercising and maintaining a good diet.
Manage staff: Pharmacists have the ultimate responsibility for ensuring the “three Rs” of right drug, right patient and right dose. Meeting this responsibility requires overseeing the work of and mentoring pharmacy technicians, student interns and residents.
Perform administrative tasks: Everyone in a pharmacy has some responsibilities for keeping patient files up to date, making sure needed products are stocked and required reports get generated and filed., you will spend as much or more time on administrative duties as on patient care.
Educate health provider colleagues: Doctors, nurses and other health care providers about new medications and drug therapy protocols.

Required Qualification and Experience
A minimum of a Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm.)
Must have completed NYSC
Minimum of 3 years experience
Strong communication.
Excellent relationship management and business development skills
Proactive problem-solving approach.
Stress tolerance.
High level of professionalism.
Ability to maintain strict confidentiality
Must have excellent interpersonal skill.

Required Qualities:
Analytical skills: Pharmacists must provide safe medications efficiently. To do this, they must be able to evaluate a patient’s needs, evaluate the prescriber’s orders, and have extensive knowledge about the effects and appropriate circumstances for giving out a specific medication.
Communication skills: Pharmacists frequently offer advice to patients. They might need to explain how to take a medicine, for example, and what its side effects are. They also need to offer clear direction to pharmacy technicians and interns.
Computer /IT skills. Pharmacists need computer skills to use any electronic health record (EHR) systems and to keep records of stocks.
Detail oriented: Pharmacist are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the prescriptions they fill, because improper use of medication can pose serious health risks. Pharmacists must be able to find the information that they need to make decisions about what medications are appropriate for each patient.
Managerial skills: Pharmacist, particularly those who run a retail pharmacy—must have good managerial skills, including managing inventory and overseeing a staff.

This is not a good advice.
I travelled more than 20 times to other states to attend interviews with the so called "small small companies" for the so called "trial and error".
I finally landed a job with a so called "small small company" and was paid over 200k per month. Way higher that what federal government is paying.
I have been waiting for a Fed govt job since 2015 in a federal pyrotechnic where my uncle(dad's immediate younger brother) is currently the dean of engineering. Perhaps from your advice, I should keep waiting until the govt job comes.
In my opinion, i think we should encourage him or her to keep trying. Provided they have confirmed that the interview is authentic. Encourage him to work more on developing himself so as the stand better chances of doing well in his next interview.
Nothing good comes easy, you have to pay the price, You have to leave your comfort zone, you have to make lots of sacrifice. The sun would surely shine. It's only a matter of when and your determination.

Well said bro! Govt jobs are not the only options and surely not the only place with good structure. Please let's quit this idea of "govt job"

No pain no gain! Don't look down on any organisation and attend many invites as much as you can.
