I’ve been working at a secondary pharma wholesaler for around 8 years in an EVP role (from founding to multiple acquisitions), I was laid off a few months back and have had no luck finding a new job. Ideally I’d like to move into a role with a manufacturer or pharma-tech, does anyone have any advice on how to break into the manufacturing side of things? I’ve applied primarily to sales roles and have had no luck.
