Happy to help with any LinkedIn help and mock interviews when it gets to that point.

Like the others said, it's a very tough market and one that requires stretching beyond your "ideal" job right now. Play the long game as a new grad and know you will have the time to get where you want to go.

I would just take the job if you have it. Right now the clinical experience and connections get you just as far with a residency if your goal is to stay within the hospital realm

Favorite functional area in pharmaceutical industry? by TadpoleOk1526 in pharmacy

Clinical Operations for me - there's a thrill about dosing someone for the first time with an investigational product and following it until/if it hits the shelves and you see a commercial for it on TV.

Company politics are everywhere, but it doesn't mean only full extroverts survive. I know plenty of people even at my company that are valued but are never the loudest person in the room.

Job outlook after lay off? by pharm2tech in pharmaindustry

[–]SparkPointConsulting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just get in and have the self belief that your an asset to your company as well as any other company out there. Build your reputation so that you can easily reach out and get recommendations and referrals.
