You've probably had the experience of accepting a pharmacy technician job on the strength of a forty-minute interview, showing up on day one, and finding out in the first week that the place is nothing like it sounded.

It is — and for a lot of technicians around Norfolk, it's a better fit than they expected. If you're weighing whether to try LTC coverage
