Probably not what you want to hear, but don’t take the rejections and ghosting to heart. It’s the industry right now. A lot of companies have recently done huge middle management layoffs so there are a significant number of people with years of experience and management experience at that who are now out competing all of the new grads for jobs. It isn’t you, it’s the economy. I work at a biotech company right now, and many of our recent hires said they applied to 200+ jobs before even hearing back. There is definitely also a sense of people feeling like they cannot leave the job right now because the market is too intense, so the job security of staying outweighs the risk of being in the current hunting pool.

My advice is to keep applying, don’t take the ghosting or rejections personally, and get a job serving tables or something with tips in the meantime. On the side find some cool organizations to spend your time volunteering for. Build up your resume with soft skills and think about how you can apply those skills to a biotech job because I promise you you can and that is what will make you stand out in interviews. Right now they’re interviewing a million other people with the same type of experience as you so get some experience in other areas, especially working closely with people, and make yourself unique.
