I'm under a strict confidentiality agreement with my last employer, so I cannot discuss anything about my last job and what I worked on. Interviewers seem to be struggling with this idea because they keep pushing me for information about what I did at my last job. How do I explain to them that I can't disclose anything in a way that will satisfy their requests?

That's a tough spot to be in. I don't know what you can really say if they're incapable of grasping what an NDA entails. It's not like they're some well-kept secret. You shouldn't have to spell it out to them that disclosing specifics could get you prosecuted.

NDA’s are fairly common practice, so odd they are struggling with it. You should be able to generally explain and leave out the confidential bits. You know what you signed best, just try to figure out what you can and can’t say.

I’ve worked in clinical research in the academic/non profit world for the past five years. I want to transition to a role in pharma or a CRO, but haven’t been successful yet because I don’t have industry experience.

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!
