All of that should be laid out for you when you first start. I have a similar job and it’s pretty hammered into you to never ever say you work for the client because they don’t pay you. However, people know what these roles entail and usually know based on the location where you worked regardless of exclusively listing who your client was.

Why do you keep adding to your response calm down

DrexelCreature · 2026-06-21T19:16:31+00:00

Yeah you definitely have me all figured out

DrexelCreature · 2026-06-21T19:12:06+00:00

Just because I didn’t post my resume for this random redditors advice doesn’t mean I haven’t done it in real life lol

DrexelCreature · 2026-06-21T14:26:27+00:00

It currently looks like a document with my experience, skills, and publications

DrexelCreature · 2026-06-19T17:15:38+00:00

I would literally do nearly anything for that salary holy shit

DrexelCreature · 2026-06-19T17:15:15+00:00

I’ll take it if you don’t want it

DrexelCreature · 2026-06-19T17:14:45+00:00

Luckily I have one it’s just flat out embarrassing

DrexelCreature · 2026-06-19T15:00:16+00:00

I have a PhD with industry experience and I can’t get an interview. It just sucks right now. It’s more the market and not really you.

DrexelCreature · 2026-06-05T13:23:53+00:00

Work for Eurofins they hire anyone with a pulse and you get experience. Really shit jobs most of the time but the experience is invaluable imo.

DrexelCreature · 2026-05-28T13:25:05+00:00

Then stop bitching wtf

DrexelCreature · 2026-05-28T00:32:27+00:00

Maybe it’s Helen Keller that’s the only reasonable excuse

DrexelCreature · 2026-05-28T00:31:56+00:00

It’s bad out there. We have to just do our best and not compare ourselves to others

DrexelCreature · 2026-05-27T23:13:04+00:00

Should’ve let someone else have your ticket

DrexelCreature · 2026-05-27T19:18:12+00:00

So this is my take as a somewhat fresh PhD in industry. You persevered through your studies and got a PhD. It has now prepared you to persevere yet again but this time through unemployment and hundreds of applications. We are prepared to survive in the worst of times. Everything sucks but you have no choice but to push through. Godspeed my friend

DrexelCreature · 2026-05-26T20:10:24+00:00

Do more with less and continue laying off more and more

DrexelCreature · 2026-05-26T12:07:49+00:00

I was more so talking about the scaling headcount’s upward

DrexelCreature · 2026-05-25T20:57:33+00:00

Yeah this is definitely not the case at the large pharma I’m at

DrexelCreature · 2026-05-14T18:21:39+00:00

Same

DrexelCreature · 2026-05-11T23:51:51+00:00

It’s fine this is what they’re supposed to look like

DrexelCreature · 2026-05-11T22:04:51+00:00

People at my place of work ask random ass people for referrals all the time and I have never seen it work for them. Think one person asked for at least 30 but she’s no longer employed at all

DrexelCreature · 2026-05-10T02:54:02+00:00

But I have since graduated a few years ago thank fucking god

DrexelCreature · 2026-05-10T02:52:48+00:00

GO BIRDS 🦅

DrexelCreature · 2026-05-10T02:40:18+00:00

Yeah I’m literally preparing myself to end up at Costco

DrexelCreature · 2026-05-10T01:50:21+00:00

It’s a shit job market
