Not sure from your question if this has been your only job, or if you have other experience in your background that you can pull out to make yourself more diversified. You are in a rather specialized field, so make your resume more 'generic' that is, highlight the skills and responsibilities that will easily translate to other fields. You might need to settle for a lower level position at a company doing a job you really want to get your foot in the door, and then work your way to the top.

for someone with a technological information history, business enterprise is a snap. If he remains in college now, i'd take an intro to accounting type and an intro to finance type, and that is all he quite needs functionally to do properly. Pharma and biotech are large industries today. He ought to nevertheless pick to pursue a job there besides, and turn roles in the business enterprise in some unspecified time sooner or later to the business enterprise aspect.

You need to make sure talk to someone in a hiring position, before you fill out an application. Call and ask about openings, requirements, try to build a relationship with that person. Then when you go in to fill out the application, tell the person handing you the application that you've already talked to Mr.----- and he was expecting your application. If that is not possible, fill out the application, get the hiring person's name and call back later asking for that person- If you can get through tell him you filled out the application and were told to talk to him. The important thing is- Don't fill out applications and just wait- most companies want motivated employees who really want the job.
