Shownotes

This week, join me for our monthly Ask Me Anything event where I address your questions about the biotech job market, effective networking strategies, and making successful career transitions. I discuss the impacts of the NIH and HHS funding uncertainty, tackling employment gaps on resumes, leveraging connections after a bad interview, and which to update first: LinkedIn profile or resume. Additional topics include how to translate academic experience into industry, the importance of career journaling, crafting compelling cover letters, and strategies for starting a biotech company in Michigan. Tune in for practical advice and actionable insights to boost your job search.
