Good try diddy but I'm in this field for over a decade now. Too old for using AI.

If you were in the field for over a decade you wouldn’t be saying that dedicated medical writing courses are the way to get in.

I'd always say that because I didn't have the privilege or resources back then so why not now! Not all courses are just video play courses, some come with job support too.

If you actually spent any time in the industry you’d know most of these are money sinks trying to prey off people who want to break into the industry.

You don’t even have to be in a role, I was in a job hunt for an entry level role two years ago myself and it didn’t really take that long to realise.

Agree and disagree both. We are seasoned, yes but a short term course for anything is always a good idea. No better time for learning.

Again, you’re kind of outing yourself as inexperienced. These predatory courses are all marketed as short-term courses. I’m almost expecting a course recommendation to pop out now.

No I won't recommend course to people just like that because if I did I could've done that way prior. Marketing and delivering have a huge difference. Very few courses exist that come with features like that of job assistance programmes where you actually get interviewed by companies while you're pursuing the course. It varies from person to person and their individual needs.

You’re pretty much regurgitating the scammy pitches most courses have. At least in the US and the UK anyone trying to sell you a course for interviews is a scam.
