I recently resigned from the pharmaceutical sales job I had to persue another career path. I am having a hard time switching industries. I am interested in Marketing Analysis jobs, but am open to other ideas as well; as long as they are outside of sales. Any ideas on how to find jobs when switching industries?
Sorry, but I find it very hard to believe that you resigned from a pharmaceutical sales job without another job lined up. These jobs are very hard to get and are sought after by many. One does not just give it up and resign for no extreme reason.
If you were successful as a pharma sales rep, and left the company on your own volition, not fired by management, it will be difficult at first to overcome the hurdle of employers wanting to know why you left without another job lined up. I suggest you put together a stellar resume, practice interviewing, hold your head up and pursue whatever it is that you want. It will only be a matter of time until you find your next home. Good luck!
