This question may sound strange to some of you, but I really want to know why. I am a 4th-year PhD student in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at a state school. I expect to graduate in this December. As of now, I have no paper published yet, however, I am preparing a paper that is to be submitted soon. I have started job hunting since early May this year. Because I don't want to develop my career in academia, I have been focusing on industry positions (Biotech & Biopharmaceuticals). So far, I've sent out 100+ copies of my resume. But I've never got any reply from them. I know it's important to have a catchy resume, I have asked a lot of people (both academic and industry) for advice on how to improve my resume. I took most of their advice for resume improvement. I am very frustrated that no companies contacted me even for positions that my background fits very well. Can anyone please tell me what the employers in industry are looking for? Please join the discussion or ask a new question. Our moderators are waiting to hear from you.
