Did u leave university with any skills?

Skills? Like research? I have a lot of laboratory skills and research from when I worked with a research team and direct patient care skills from my current position at a hospital on an acute med/surg floor

Hello! I was in the same position. I somehow got a job in biotech but I’ve observed that you’re more likely to get a full time job if you have more years of work experience than just internships and academia lab exposure

I understand. I guess I just want to know how do I get the experience if no one hires me to get the experience?

I found it helpful when I was starting out to go through a recruiting agency that are placing. They sometimes hire on contract roles-you get paid my consultant co. for full time work and company like ‘tests you out’ then converts into full time job at co.

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

Curious to know what you've seen as working to non working dollars split in Canadian agencies. Reference any specific brands (or categories) if you can. I'm used to seeing the conventional 15-20% split for non working (production dollars only, not including media budget, agency fees) but are those days gone now with the takeover of digital (vs traditional) ad placements?

Hi everyone. I’m trying to transition from working at a non-profit to a more profitable position within research. My current title at my org is as a CR-assistant. Any suggestions of good transitional positions within clinical research? (That could be done remotely). Thank you!!

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!
