Hunting for a job in the biotechnology sector has never been easy and in recent times, big players in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry have been going through a series of job cuts, such as Pfizer, which announced in January 2007 that it would be laying off 10,000 employees. With the possibility of more jobs cuts to come in the sector, one site is offering advice to jobseekers on how to weather the storm.

Job seeking and career advancements are not just based on luck but are acquired skills. Researching the industry and target companies, knowing where and how to look for jobs, networking and writing a professional resume are just some things that separates one from the crowd and gets you hired.” says Dr. Obi Igbokwe, CEO of Biohealthmatics.com
