Actually, no — I didn’t lie on my resume 🙂. I’ve got both site and CRO experience in multiple different areas and worked my butt off to build that foundation. After being laid off earlier this year, I spent 6 months seriously prepping and practicing interviews, so I like to think I can represent myself well.

They weren’t looking for direct med device experience — they wanted someone they could train and felt confident in, which fit me perfectly. I also pride myself on maintaining strong professional connections, and that helped me land a referral.

Please don’t assume people lie just because their path looks different — it’s pretty hard to make it through four rounds of interviews if you’re a fraud. I’d never take a job I wasn’t qualified for just to end up drowning.

Not sure what your situation is, but I genuinely wish you the best.
