I completed my MBA abroad about 6 months ago at a top 10 EU b-school. During my MBA, I completed 2 back-to-back projects for Eli Lilly Germany (unpaid) for which my team and I received high praise for.
I had to move back to the US for family/litigation reasons (I'm suing someone) and had to put pause on job hunting for a few months

I'm now eager to work again and really want to get into Lilly US..but even a referral got no response.

Any advice on how to get my foot in the door for Lilly US??

Did you create any network with your US colleagues? That’s where I’d start - see where they see teams expanding and keep tabs on that.

I would wait until the person is back and ask for a personal introduction, your chances of success are much higher. It’s only 5 more days.

I’m currently being considered for a job and received a call last week from HR to discuss the organization’s health/retirement benefits and what my salary expectations are.
