So... I currently hate my job. Like absolutely hate it. The work environment is toxic, I'm treated very badly, and I need a new job ASAP... the thing is, I've applied to over 40 jobs within the last few months, and haven't gotten past the first interview for any. Do you guys have any advice on how/ where to apply for someone with a BMS degree and 4 years of experience in pharmaceuticals working in FDA regulated lab? Looking to break into the clinical research field, but having no luck :(

No response whatsoever. Will emailing them again be inappropriate? I desperately need this job

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.
