McKinsey & Company Hello, it’s been a very hard couple of months applying for jobs and not hearing back. I interviewed at Facebook (Meta) , McKinsey & Company through referrals. I keep getting beat down because I don’t get callbacks from submitting my resume directly to the company (only 3 so far out of hundreds).
My background is in Biotechnology (Master’s) and Biomedical engineering with industry experience in Reg Affairs + Project Management.
I want to work on product teams in high growth companies.
Any tips?

P.s. currently enrolled in Business classes at CSM to keep my mind going while I figure this out. So I believe I’m well-rounded with sciences plus business. Open to consulting roles as well. Thank you.

Career fairs, university career services offices, alumni networking. Attend/commit to doing all three with vigor and you will succeed.

Thank you. What do you suggest I say to Alumni on LinkedIn? I’ve tried reaching out but barely get a response. Looks like I need help with my messaging.

Solid advise, Thank you for your help!

Hi, I’m considering roles at Accenture for consulting. What roles would you recommend given my background? I like strategy, operations and analysis plus my biotech industry experience and research background. Thank you.

We’d provide some counseling/coaching type content, in bite sized chunks, but have regular discussions to connect & encourage one another on applying the content IRL.
