Medical Exercise Education | Neurology Content Consultation | Contract Medical Writer | Physiologist | Blacksmith
This is an interesting read. After our company was forced to downsize, I amplified my networking activities 10-fold. One key theme consistently pops up; it's happening across the board. Medical writing positions that would have had 20-30 applicants a couple years ago now have HUNDREDS! So hiring managers now have a larger pool of qualified candidates, making landing a role magnitudes of order harder to get. However, there is a lesson... We can complain, but that won't solve anything. We can overdo the applications in lieu of networking, but then you will get passed over. Or, we accept this is reality and adapt. Be it AI, finding a mentor, writing articles...anything you can do to build your skills will be helpful. You can't force someone to hire you, but you can build yourself until they chase after you.
Great snapshot and analysis of the layoffs plaguing the life sciences industry. https://lnkd.in/eaVcnGyG
