Royal Siu, a 29-year-old pharmacist from near Los Angeles, left his job in 2023 to pursue opportunities in the biotech and pharmaceutical fields. His journey was challenging, taking almost 18 months and involving 688 job applications. After experiencing a traumatic incident in his previous role, he committed to changing careers. During this period, he utilized a job application tracker, sought mentorship, and networked aggressively. Despite facing numerous rejections, Siu remained persistent and finally secured the job he desired in April 2024.
At the end of September 2023, I quit my job. For the first few weeks, I relaxed and saw some friends. After that, I started my deep dive into the application process.
It took 536 days and 688 applications, but I’m glad to say I finally made it and got a job.
