Have I applied for any programs or jobs, actually yes I have. I applied for a job at WRP in hopes of getting a federal job, hopefully in the pharmacology field so I can live my dream of working in my field of study and it just so happens that I’ve got a phone interview with WRP (Workforce Recruitment Program) this coming Friday, November the 13^th; hopefully a few job opportunities arise after the phone interview but I’m hopeful.
