Hi all! I'm planning to pivot careers towards the medical devices industry. Specifically in industrial/manufacturing/quality engineering.

Does anyone know of great resources/certifications to share that will not only provide a better understanding but make me a stronger candidate?

As of now, I have a six sigma green belt certification and have had 2 internships (one in Manufacturing Engineering and Industrial engineering) prior to my current full-time role.

Thank you in advance!

I’ve worked in clinical research in the academic/non profit world for the past five years. I want to transition to a role in pharma or a CRO, but haven’t been successful yet because I don’t have industry experience. Does anyone know of any CROs/pharma companies that are willing to hire someone with research expertise from an academic medical center rather than already in industry? Thanks!

It’s been really hard to keep my head up after what feels like endless rejection. Received a no today about position I really wanted. The interviews felt so genuine and I was even told I’d be a good fit. Ultimately it just seems that my experience isn’t translating, which really sucks when you feel stuck in your current role and want to make a transition. I’m so eager to keep learning. Would love to connect with any brand/account directors to get some advice.
