I am a scientist who has been in the field for about 4 years total. I am looking to switch from the lab, into sales and I am having trouble landing interviews. Any tips or suggestions? I've been thinking about the CNPR certification but I'm not sure if it's necessary. Any info will be greatly appreciated!

Rising 2nd year here: been rethinking my choice as an M&A attorney. I've had a rough go of it over the first year-and-a-half of practice and am thinking about moving to a different practice area. I'd like to stay on the transactional side, but am not quite sure what areas I can leverage my corporate and M&A skills in. I was thinking T&E (i.e. business succession planning, etc.)

Would greatly appreciate input from others.
