Today, I was told (thankfully) by a recruiter that they just didn't see enough biology and medical background in my resume to work on an EMR (that's Electronic Medical Records system- the thing that the doctors and nurses look at instead of you when you go into to see them now).
Anyway, yeah...what a shocker. The irony is that I had to take so much of my biology background OUT when I tried to break into IT because no one thought that the two really meshed at the time (man, I'm dating myself). I had changed all of my lab work to sound more like IT work so that the auto-scanning programs wouldn't just throw my resume out for lack of experience- which would have been the truth then. You know, "programmed DNA" and "quality assurance of" this or that solution.
So, it's a complete shocker to be told I just don't have enough biology in there.
Everyone embrace the long resume.
And at this time, only one comment really comes to mind:
If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
LOL!!!!!
Gets me every time!
