 In the video short, workplace mathematics / pharmacist, Sofia Wong discussed attending Walgreen
 primary school, then attended the University of Manchester to get her pharmacist degree. I took her
 four years to finish, plus one year of pre requisite training. Sofia went down the science route but
 was originally very interested in art. Interestingly, Math was not her strong point but she successfully
 completed those course requirements When Sofia completed her Pre requisite exam,she could not
 use calculators Poonam Aggarwal, a pharmacist, shows how to use a Pascal's triangle to count out
 medication. She counts 15 tablets then explains the numbers and how many rows you should have in
 each row to get the number of tablets you want. Sofia explains how math is more widely used in the
 industrial sector because of figuring weight and mass of a human is required to get the right dosage.
 She explained that everyday you fill prescriptions and have to figure out the quantities and dosages to
 ensure dosage is not too powerful or not sufficient enough. Sophia also explains how antibiotics can
 come in a powder form and how one must use math to figure out how much liquid should be added to get
 the correct dosage. Sofia Wong wraps up the video by discussing how valuable math is
 and how going to a good school put her in the position she is in now.

By
So, the first step is over. You finished filling out the application for the job; listing all of your work experience, answering numerous questions about your work ethic on an online questionnaire, and you even polished up your hand dandy resume! After restless nights of worrying, you finally get a call saying they would love to have you come in for an interview: now what? First, don't panic ! Finding an appropriate outfit can be intimidating, but with the help of Google it is possible. Second, the outfit you should wear is based on what type of position you are going for or what your potential company is.

When in doubt of what to wear, go with business casual! Here are a few images of what business casual and professional ou...
