I have a science and entrepreneurial background, but only seem to land teaching positions. I would like to back to business/science fields. What should I do?

Hi Lia,
Thanks for writing to us. Sorry to hear that you’ve been having a hard time landing a job in your field of interest and expertise, but it’s great that you’re trying to figure out how you can move closer in that direction. A little more detail would allow us to provide you with the most useful thoughts and guidance. Would you be able to answer some of the following questions?
Are you currently in treatment, or pre/post treatment? (This is valuable information since it could help determine how you approach your job search and the interview process)
What is your background in the science/business fields? Can you provide a little more info on your previous positions?
What kind of teaching positions are you landing? Are they related to science/business at all or tied into what you did previously?
Is your LinkedIn profile up-to-date?
In the meantime, I would recommend reviewing the following resources:
Job Search Toolkit (2nd Edition): http://www.cancerandcareers.org/publication_orders/new(features advice on improving resumes, cover letters; interview and networking tips and other useful tools to help you during a job search)
Kind regards, Nicole Franklin, MPH Senior Manager of Programs
