It’s so hard to get into pharmaceutical industry, especially in Ireland. I understand we need to have experience to apply but if an employer never given a chance to non-experience applicants then how do we get in? I have 5+ years experience in Supply Chain Management with tech and manufacturing company, but really wish to enter pharmaceutical. Any advice please

Probably the best advice is to either take courses online, if any are offered, or ask the organization directly which is the best course of action because your statement is correct. If you need experience - how do you get it if they aren't willing to train on the job?

Hi All,
I am working as an Automation Test Lead from 2 yrs. Before that was working as a mainframe dev and total of 9+ YOE.

Since, I am new to the field, I am assuming it would be difficult to transition without guidance. How is the blackbelt plus program by analytics vidhya? All suggestiins welcome on how to transition.

As if I remember, one of the consultancy, used my PAN to register in ibegin but I’m unable to login since it is registered by their mail ID and my PAN.
