Job Application Strategies for Biotech and Beyond

This week, listen to our monthly live virtual event, 'Ask Me Anything.' Attendees get insights on how to navigate job applications on LinkedIn, including strategies for contacting hiring managers and effective networking. We discuss tailoring resumes for biotech positions, transitioning from academia to industry, and navigating job market trends. I share tips on increasing energy in Zoom interviews and detecting potential job scams. The Q&A session covers alternative career paths within biotech, the value of work experience versus advanced degrees, and how to communicate relocation willingness on resumes effectively.
