I'm ideally suited for a job in pharmaceutical sales, but there's just two things wrong. A, I'm not a chick, and B, I likely have more education than the hiring managers. There was a job recently in business development promoting a custom synthesis division of a major chemical supplier. They wanted someone with a background in chemistry or business. I have graduate degrees in both. I even hand delivered my resume right to the front door of the company. No sales experience? Bullshit. I did that very job at Pfizer, and dealt with custom synthesis CROs all over the world and detemrined efficiency and cost effectiveness models. I know that industry like the back of my hand. I'd be a chemist dealing with other chemists, explaining our sysnthesis capabilities. Yet I didn't even get a call. So explain that one to me.
The main issue here is that the industry for which I'm most suited (pharma) has fuck all going on in Canada. I can't even get a job as a chemist, and that's what I was for 8 years. It's all generic bullshit, sales and marketing. And again, I lack big enough tits for sales. Plus they can pay some kid straight out of school a lot less money. But fuck, I'd TAKE that money forthe sake of having a job.
Basically, it's come to tyhe point whre I'm applying to job that pay less than half of what I'm worth on paper. No calls. I suspect that B is rather perverse in my job hunting efforts in general. I've even taken education off my resume. How's that for swallowing pride. You work your ass off to open doors, then they close in your face becaus of it. Ironic, eh?
At this point I've started to consider throwing my education i the toilet and tryig to get an apprenticeship as an electrician or bricklayer.
