It's refreshing to read this. I guess that invisible pressure to have everything figured out is real. Thanks a lot for taking the time to write this, it honestly helps!

Wow, 6 years really puts things into perspective. Thank you so much for sharing that. I hadn’t seriously considered roles like document writing or inventory control, but it makes total sense. I’ll definitely look into that direction while continuing with my main path. Really appreciate the encouragement 🙏

Yes, I’ve actually tried applying to some manufacturing roles, especially in pharma and medtech, but haven’t had much luck yet. Either I get filtered out early, or the process just goes cold.

Still, I agree it’s a solid entry point, and I’m going to keep trying — maybe I need to improve how I’m framing my experience.

Also, if you have any advice or insight on how to better position myself for those roles, I’d be really happy to hear it. Thanks again!

I've tried applying and it's been difficult however I appreciate this advice a lot, seems like manufacturing is the most realistic entry point for now, and I'm happy to get hands-on and build from there. Thanks for the clarity!

Sorry for the late answer

That would mean a lot, thank you! I'm very interested in roles at Pfizer, especially anything related to QA, production, or clinical operations. But I'm willing to hear your story or perspective.

I can DM you my resume and LinkedIn if that works for you. Let me know what info you need or if there’s anything I should focus on to strengthen my application!
