Pharma Resume Blast

I used this service a few days ago and have received some quality calls from recruiters with jobs that are both in pharma and outside of pharma. I figure for the small investment, it can have big returns. Full disclosure, I get a small referral fee if you click on the link and use the service. But that allows me to keep updating the site. Please feel free to give feedback if you get success due to this great resume blast service.

I'm looking for a job...

Ironically, I am now in search of work, after getting let go by my company. So, I wish you all good luck as I know traffic to this site has increased recently due to big layoffs from a number of companies. It will all be fine and we'll all be better off in the long run...

The Waiting is the hardest part

Well, at least with Pfizer. Good luck to all while you wait to find out your fate. Remember that it will be OK either way. There are still companies hiring and if you don't get cut, there will be opportunities in the new Pfizer.

More Cuts

More job cuts announced. I've heard BMS, Glaxo, Pfizer, Merck, Jazz, and many other companies. But who's hiring? There are still jobs to be had but fewer companies hiring for fewer open spots. What other industries are you considering if you've been let go (or if you're waiting to find out). Are you going to stay in the pharma/biotech/med device industry?

More job cuts in the industry

I know there are more job cuts in the Pharmaceutical industry than there has been in awhile. However, there are still opportunities. I hope this site is helpful. Please feel free to forward to link to get here so that people know some of the companies and recruiters that are hiring. I'm waiting to find out if I keep my job so I'm in the same boat as many of your are. I wish you luck.
