From the moment I got in touch with Farmaempleo via the Barcelona Pharmaceutical Society, my career path changed. They guided me every step of the way and helped me through any difficulties such as where to go and how to get trained. There was a lot of work to do but I always felt supported by their professional team. I'm now working in the Lake District and it's like strolling through all the books I've read by the authors I learned to appreciate during my English studies. As for the climate ...it's like Barcelona in November. My experience is 100% satisfactory. Without Farmaempleo I couldn't have done it.
