I did not make it to the next round of interviews at EY. Just want to be able to find a job. Even with referrals I am still getting rejected for jobs. Frustrated.

Do you think there is anything you could improve? I’ve been rejected around 7 times now in final rounds. I’m struggling to figure out what I’m doing wrong but I think it might come down to personality and my overall approach. I go into these interviews on the fence about whether or not I’d take the job and I think it shows. I don’t know if this is entirely true, but self reflection like this has enabled me to address some of my approach on interviews as I move forward. Another positive change for me, others may strongly disagree with this, has been loosening up.

Loosening up is key. Esp in this industry, personality is a big factor at the end.

With every rejection, always ask for feedback. That is always helpful.

I’m looking to transition from an academic medical center to pharma or a biotech. I have about 8 years of clinical research experience overall — 7 years combined as a CRC (CRC I, CRC II, and senior CRC) and 1 year as a PM. I’m also recently ACRP-CP certified.

I’ve worked with many different industry-sponsors and CROs throughout the years, but many jobs I am applying to require experience at a biotech/CRO/pharma company. Would really appreciate any advice or referrals. Thanks in advance!
