× I also check for adverse reactions and side effects and I teach them about lifestyle medication, lifestyle.
✓ I also check for adverse reactions and side effects, and I teach them about lifestyle modifications.
The phrase 'lifestyle medication, lifestyle' is incorrect and unclear. This is an issue with word choice and gerund/noun form; the intended idea is 'lifestyle modifications' (noun phrase) which fits with 'teach them about'. Use a clear noun phrase after 'teach them about'. Suggestion: replace the unclear phrase with 'lifestyle modifications' to convey habits and behaviors patients should change.
× I currently work at D&M Pharmacy.
✓ I currently work for D&M Pharmacy.
When talking about employment, English commonly uses 'work for' to indicate the employer. 'Work at' is not strictly wrong for a location, but 'work for' better expresses the relationship with the company. Suggestion: use 'work for D&M Pharmacy' to emphasize employment.
× The place is very spacious and air conditioned.
✓ The place is very spacious and air-conditioned.
Compound adjective before a noun should be hyphenated: 'air-conditioned'. Without the hyphen this is a punctuation/style issue related to adjective formation. Suggestion: hyphenate 'air-conditioned' when used as an adjective.
× It also makes the environment very interesting to work in.
✓ This makes the workplace a pleasant place to work in.
'It also makes the environment very interesting to work in' is awkward and informal. The sentence structure is clumsy. Rephrase to clearly state the effect: 'This makes the workplace a pleasant place to work in' or 'This makes the work environment pleasant.' Suggestion: choose concise noun phrases ('work environment', 'pleasant') and place them directly after the verb.
× In my workplace we have nice team members who are also professionals who carry on busy shifts for others.
✓ At my workplace we have friendly team members who are professionals and cover busy shifts for others.
The original sentence is repetitive and awkward: 'nice team members who are also professionals who carry on busy shifts for others.' This is a sentence structure problem (relative clauses and verb choice). Use 'friendly' instead of 'nice' and 'cover busy shifts' instead of 'carry on busy shifts'. Suggestion: reduce relative clauses and use more natural verbs ('cover shifts').
× They are very helpful and kind.
✓ They are very helpful and kind.
This sentence is grammatically correct. No change needed. (Included to show no error of third person singular here.)
× Definitely is a good place to work because the pharmacy has a supportive environment and the managers are understandable and approachable.
✓ It is definitely a good place to work because the pharmacy has a supportive environment and the managers are understanding and approachable.
Sentence is missing a subject 'It' at the start and uses 'understandable' where 'understanding' (an adjective describing people) is correct. This is a sentence structure and word choice issue. Suggestion: add the subject 'It' and use 'understanding' for managers.
× They also do not make work hard for us.
✓ They also do not make our work difficult.
The phrase 'make work hard for us' is awkward. This is an issue with word choice/quantifier and noun usage. Better phrasing is 'make our work difficult' or 'make it hard for us to work.' Suggestion: use 'make our work difficult' for clarity.
× I also like the fact that we are able to wear casual wears on Fridays unlike some other offices that do not allow such.
✓ I also like that we can wear casual clothes on Fridays, unlike some other offices that do not allow this.
'Casual wears' is incorrect; use 'casual clothes'. 'Do not allow such' is awkward; use 'do not allow this'. This is adjective/noun selection and idiom choice. Suggestion: use 'casual clothes' and 'allow this'.
× I would like to keep working there because the I'm able to communicate with people on a daily basis and prefer solutions to their problems and I'm able to make networking connections with people in different fields that visit the pharmacy.
✓ I would like to keep working there because I am able to communicate with people on a daily basis, help them find solutions to their problems, and make networking connections with people from different fields who visit the pharmacy.
Multiple issues: unnecessary 'the' before 'I'm', awkward verb 'prefer solutions' (should be 'help them find solutions'), and run-on sentence. This is sentence structure and pronoun/article problems. Suggestion: remove extraneous 'the', use parallel verbs, and replace 'that visit' with 'who visit' for people.
× I would also like to add that I learn every day.
✓ I would also like to add that I learn something new every day.
'I learn every day' is grammatically possible but vague. Adding 'something new' clarifies the meaning; this is a quantifier/content clarity issue. Suggestion: include 'something new' to show continuous learning.
× My future work plan is to become an entrepreneur and hold my own pharmacy so that then I would have flexible time to do other things like own a restaurant and probably have a charity foundation.
✓ My future work plan is to become an entrepreneur and own my own pharmacy so that I will have flexible time to do other things, such as owning a restaurant and possibly setting up a charity foundation.
Use 'own' instead of 'hold' for a business, and use 'will' for a planned future rather than 'would' in this context. Also improve parallel structure: 'owning a restaurant' and 'setting up a charity foundation.' This is a future tense and word choice issue. Suggestion: use 'will' for intended future outcomes and natural verbs like 'own' and 'set up'.
× So it's something.
✓ So that's something I am working towards.
'So it's something' is vague and ungrammatical in this context. This is a sentence structure and content clarity issue. Rephrase to 'That's something I am working towards' to express intention clearly.
