I am having a hard time finding a full time role. It has been over a hear and I’ve only been offered contract roles from other companies. I have been working as a contractor at J&J for almost two years now and really need a full time position. I’m located in New Jersey and looking for entry to mid level scientists roles in the pharma/biotech industry. Any suggestions?

I've started as contractor at JnJ. My advise is to leave and then come back to a full time role in a few years. Current experience and knowing company culture will help tremendously. Of course, if JnJ is where you want to be.

I’m an MS Management Student graduating in June 2023. I applied to over 40 positions within the Big 4/MBB and even with extensive networking, I haven’t heard back from any really.

Will they even consider me for an experienced hire a year or two down the road if they showed no interest this time? Any advice welcome!
