Help finding a job!

Hi!

I’m reaching out because I’m feeling completely burnt out and running out of time. I’ve been actively job hunting since Jan, and to make matters worse, I’m facing an impending layoff at my current job. I have a M.S. in Regulatory Compliance from Northwestern and a background in clinical operations, lab compliance, IRB administration, and regulatory protocol management. I’m mainly targeting Regulatory Affairs Specialist, Clinical Compliance, and IRB type roles but I'll truly take anything that'll put food on the table.

My biggest hurdle right now is closing the deal. I’m getting initial traction and regularly making it through two to three rounds of interviews, often getting down to the last two candidates, but I keep losing out on the offer at the very end. Feedback consistently states no negative comments but I lack a true title in regulatory compliance over the other candidate. My current role title is Senior Research Technologist but I am an acting Lab manager.

Since I'm consistently reaching the final stage, I feel like my resume and interview skills are solid, but something in that final panel isn't landing; I'm not sure if the feedback I'm given is honest.

For those who hire in regulatory affairs or compliance, I’d love your insight on what typically separates the candidate who gets the offer from the runner up, how I can better frame my clinical operations and academic compliance background for industry roles, and how to successfully close out those final executive rounds.

I’m happy to DM my resume if anyone is willing to take a look, and any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm resorting to a point where finding connections, networking, and rubbing elbows might be my best bridge to my next job.

If anyone can assist, I'd truly appreciate it.

Rehome. Please help.

Hi all. My husband and I are having a hard time. This is our third GSD. The first lived a long life. The second is a smaller half breed and the third (who the post is about) are both still well and young. We also have a Pyrenees who is the oldest.

​

We grew up with sheps. We're well acquainted with the breed and their needs, but for the first time, we are failing.

​

This is our boy Gohan, had him since a puppy. He is 4 this November 2nd. We have 3 dogs total and they all got along until a year or two ago. Gohan is loving, active, cuddly, energetic, vocal, typical shepherd!! His prey drive is what we believe made him turn on our smallest dog (the half breed shep), who is now fearful of him and that feeds the drive. Since he turned on the little, no amount of training and behavioral vet intervention is helping. We even tried meds for a little more than a year. He has never bitten a person. No human aggression. No resource guarding. You can feed him, cut his nails, wash, brush, and groom him with no issues. His prey drive causes him to chase wildlife but when hes caught them, he doesnt hurt them. Only licks them. He used to be able to walk on a leash but it is near impossible now due to dog reactivity. We are at fault for this, I had a geriatric, high risk pregancy and delivered earlier than expected via c section. So we failed on keeping up with the dogs when I gave birth. Our life turned into keeping my baby and I alive. Now that we are healthy, we tried to get back on track. But we fear when our baby is a toddler that his prey drive and blinders will go up before he realizes what hes doing and its too late. Its a chance we cant risk to our baby.

​

Gohan is smart, he gets past all barriers and opens doors. So in our attempt to keep the smaller dog separated from him, he keeps finding ways to get through. And not on purpose to hurt our little dog, but to follow and accompany us through the house.

​

We are absolutely heartbroken and I've been crying nearly everyday this past month as our only option is to rehome. Im struggling hard to accept this. Im not a quitter. We never get rid of family, and they were here first. That's my motto. Ive failed him. Ive never failed my babies before. So I'm struggling here.

​

We won't put him in a shelter because hes dog reactive.

​

My husband and I also fear someone inexperienced with the breed will adopt him and give him to a shelter, and we dont want that to happen. So its a resort to euthanasia to avoid an abusive rehome where they might do that.

​

Im desperately trying to find him a good home. We are bad pet parents. I know that and take full accountability and shame. We have tried. Truly. But please help us save him. Please. There must be a home where he will be loved just as much if not more than here. Hes a regular shepherd is all!

​

He would need a home with no little children (just in case, he has been great with our baby, but idk about toddler to young child stages), he does fantastic with tweens and teens, no other dogs, no little dogs, no cats, no other pets like bunnies. Typical GSD prey drive.

​

We will require a fee to ensure he goes to a good home. We ask that you let us see your home to know hes in good hands. He needs a backyard for his ball throwing. He loves his crate, he would need it left open for him to enter as a comfort zone but dont lock him in! He uses it as a bed. And please. If interested, and you adopt him, dont give him up if hes too much for you. Give him back to us. We are having such a hard time knowing his future will be unknown to us and trusting in good faith he will be loved.

​

Hes a great damn dog. Just dog reactive. Our little dog doesn't deserve to live in fear..... this is so hard.....

​

Western suburbs of Chicago il.

​

He is neutered. And up to date on shots. Has the 3 year rabies and due next 2028 (received Jan 2025).

​

There is also no contacting the breeder. I found his sister and the breeder sold that girl to a person who confined her in a small concrete space for breeding. She was released into the streets after they got what they wanted and she was found with severe muscle depletion from not being able to move for a long time during breeding. I know this because I did Embark and someone who adopted his sister after the fact, told me her story. I refuse to trust that breeder again.
