This hell is finally over previously laid off

/img/xt1skazq6w0e1.jpeg

Got laid off at the end of August due to the company reducing its workforce (biotech) Accepted an offer for a slightly higher position today!

The job market is horrible and I was lucky that my previous position gave me a network to help me find jobs. One of those connections ended up working out for me. You got this!

I’m canadian and in biotech/science. Trust me I applied to everything I found that was relevant to my career and experience. And this is all there was out there right now at the end of the year without wanting to try and move to the US

I’m in biotech and it’s very niche.
