The Canadian market is very tough in biotech/pharma, which is why I moved to the US. You are going to have to start thinking about how to get in beyond just applying (necessary but not sufficient). I had 1 yoe and a PhD; applied for 6 months with 0 responses, but when I started applying in the US, it took less than 30 days to land 4 interviews and 3 offers that even sponsored my visa without question. The cherry on top was that every single place I applied to responded even if it was a “no”. For reference, I am Canadian. Depending on your skills/training, it might be worthwhile to look into similar industries (for example food inspection, veterinary diagnostics, or bioremediation) that can help you break into the Canadian market

I am Canadian in this sector and it is very very difficult to find a position. It’s interesting to hear that in USA it’s easier. I actually am working for a USA based company remotely while living in Canada. Your credentials will not be enough to get you noticed. You are competing against many others with similar or better credentials. You need to get known thru networking.

For folks exiting to FAANG / Product at start ups or really any hot company. How do you go about networking to get the interview? Do you apply then cold email someone you may have an “in”with, or are you picking say 10 companies and then having warm contacts there that you’ll ping when you see a job. I’ve been passively looking for jobs but zero luck, I only want to leave for the right fit. Big 4 here so feel my brand won’t auto get me an interview like mbb/t2

How do you go about not underselling yourself on a resume/interview while also not exaggerating your accomplishments?

I had a role on a team and contributed, but I have heard recruiters are off put by stating you were part of a team effort since they don’t know your contribution to it.
