Try to feel out the situation. Let them lead with a hand or elbow. If you shake their hand, just wash em after and you’re chilling. Tossing a nice elbow bump isn’t that weird either, unless you’re in a part of the country that’s unaffected

You should be fine! I'm sure they're understanding of what's happening and are taking precautions too.

Hand sanitizer before and after

My husband had in-person interviews converted to video interviews. Things might change depending on where you are. I think it’s totally fine under these circumstances to not shake hands- just don’t extend your arm. If they do, politely say something like « I’m not shaking hands due to the situation but I am very excited to meet you and be here in person. » Big smile, lots of eye contact, stand up straight and be confident. Convey the effect of a handshake with your tone and body language.

Well my interview is now over the phone so problem solved:0

I am done trying to pretend everything is fine at work. The higher ups on the team kept asking if I’m doing anything fun for the weekend during video calls.

I’m thousands of miles away from my family and I just want everything to stop. But when my manager kept asking in front of everyone am I

Hi I have 5+ yrs of bedside clinical research nurse experience and have been trying to pivot to the CRO world. I have applied to over 40+ positions and keep getting rejected. I have reformatted my resume to ATS but that doesn’t seem to be working either. Why is it so hard to get into the CRO industry and why is my hospital experience not translating? Thanks

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!
