Job searching in pharma can be slow and competitive, so don’t take it personally. Broaden your applications, network with employees, and consider a coach or mentor with pharma experience. Also, focus on building relevant skills and certifications, and prioritize self-care. Has anyone else used a coach or mentor to break into pharma? I personally had a mentor who was a manager from a previous company, and that guidance was incredibly helpful.

These processes take time, and I know waiting can be one of the most challenging parts. Right now, everyone is experiencing this slower pace.

Do not be depressed! Pharma companies are VERY hard to get into - you really have to know someone. Right now, no one is hiring for these kinds of positions (you are a Chemist right?) I would ride it out, wait a few months and try again. Know that the manufacturers of all the weight loss drugs WILL be hiring more, as the demand for these types of medications goes up. Also, how is your resume? Have a professional go over it and make any necessary changes. Don't give up!

What can you do if you’re getting interviewed by the same person who didn’t choose you in the first place?
Context: I applied for a position a while back and got interviewed, but didn’t go to the next round. I found the same position open again a month later at a different location and applied. Almost immediately, I was called for an interview, but with the same interviewer. What does this mean? Is this going to get awkward?

Need help settling a debate with my friend. She thinks I will have an easier time getting research grants because I'm male. I think it's the opposite because companies are trying to change the status quo and get more women involved (which I'm not complaining about... please don't attack me.) Which one of us is more right than the other? I'm interested in getting as many viewpoints as possible, whether or not they agree with me or with her. Thanks!!!
