Online pharmacy weblog

I am back in the market for a Tech job since leaving Wal-Mart and
taking a scholarship for a semester. My license expired in May and I
did not renew it because here is what it says: (copied from website)

2007-2008 Pharmacy Technician Permit Renewal
IMPORTANT! - Unless you are currently employed in a licensed Oklahoma
pharmacy and under the immediate and direct supervision of a licensed
Oklahoma pharmacist, the Board will not renew your technician permit.
You may apply for reinstatement of your technician permit upon re-
employment in a licensed Oklahoma pharmacy

SO MY PROBELM IS THIS:

I was passed up for a job because my license was not “current” they
require you to already obtain a license. The catch is that I had a
license but let it lapse since I was not working as a tech. So, since
I am not under the immediate and direct supervision of a pharmacist,
how do I go about getting job that requires me to have a license?
Doesn’t make any sense to me. I tried explaining this to the hiring
supervisor and he didn’t catch on.
