Years ago, during my tenure as a scientist, we were in the process of hiring for a critical role in our team. We already had a pool of candidates ready from the group of interns and postdocs at work in the company. ➡️Among the candidates was a postdoc with an exceptional grasp of technical concepts and profound insights into their field of expertise., However, they struggled to navigate disagreements constructively and often failed to offer feedback without belittling others' contributions. And every other manager was on the same page about this person's attitude which felt annoying. Not surprisingly, They preferred someone couple of shaded less in technical adeptness but richer in attitude for the role. You know why? Because even within the job, your projects changes, and you have to master newer areas of work, hence your ability to adapt and collaborate effectively is paramount. And what works here, is your attitude to learn on the go, build your expertise with the help of other experts. As Ph.D’s I have come across many who have this attitude of projecting how much they know, at the cost of belittling others. Well then know, Confidence in one's craft is commendable, but dismissing others' perspectives outright is a sign of overconfidence. And most managers in great companies, are most of the time very good at recognising such candidates. So my question to you is, 👉Is It it your skills or attitude, thats failing you ? Any similar stories ? The comments are eagerly waiting for your insights. #phd #rimadey #careercoach #researchers

Fulfillment Beyond the Bench: Expanding Possibilities for Scientists After over a decade as a researcher, I found myself at a crossroads when funding dried up in my lab. Though initially drawn to academia for the thrill of discovery, I realized I could find meaningful work beyond the bench that leveraged my skills. By reflecting on my transferable abilities in communication, project management, and problem-solving, I saw that I could bring value to roles outside a traditional bench scientist position. Though this path was less scripted, it opened up more diverse and fulfilling opportunities. For scientists looking to explore unconventional but enriching careers, check out our job job board: https://lnkd.in/gPfWftzr Find openings perfectly tailored to researchers' abilities, enabling you to find intriguing work beyond academia. Don't let your lab coat limit you—keep your curiosity alive and remain open to new possibilities. The excitement and wonder of science can flourish in countless settings. Trust in your transferable skills and let them guide you to your next captivating chapter. The opportunities are endless if you think creatively. https://lnkd.in/dGzmkSEr #biotechjobboard #biotechjobs #greatnessbio

Shared my 10 years industrial experience in BUET.

SHOUTING THIS FROM THE ROOFTOPS! 👏 With the new year comes lots of companies hiring for new postions, and a lot of new or soon-to-be grads looking to transition into industry. Too often, I see PhDs selling themselves short because they "don't have experience". But if you've completed a life science PhD, you have a TON of applicable experience for industry roles! Some of the best skills grad students have: 🔵 Leading and managing multiple research projects 🔵 Mentoring junior scientists (rotation students/master's students/etc.) 🔵 Collaborating with labmates 🔵 Presenting and communicating results within your lab, department, and conferences And those are totally independent of any technical skills you've mastered during your time in the lab. Know your worth, present yourself confidently, and don't be afraid to reach out for advice! #phdlife #sciencejobs #biotechnology #industry

I was scared. So I went to grad school. Storytime: In my third year of undergrad, I begun considering my career prospects. There were big fears about what came after. As far as I knew, a Bachelor’s in Chemistry wasn’t enough. I’d be relegated to lab tech roles for all eternity. I didn’t want to prepare for another big test Or fight through another gruelling application process (Think med, law, or pharmacy school) So the easy admission to grad school looked way more appealing. Cause hey, I was GREAT at school, almost straight-A’s so far. Grad school can’t be THAT much more difficult, right? (Queue Narration: “In-fact, grad school turned out to be EXACTLY that much more difficult.”) I learned some big lessons in humility and risk in grad school, And I eventually found my way in life and career. Though I’m happy with how things turned out, I wonder where I would be now, If I had known about sales and business development options earlier? If someone had told me that these are viable careers for scientists? If I didn’t believe the stigma around sales/BD career paths? And if I hadn’t made a life-changing decision out of fear? #scientificsales #careerdevelopment #science2sales

Scientists are a very special group of professionals. ☝️ You can't think of a scientist's career the same way you think about a marketeer's career❗ A career in science is very unique: - It can take a lot of time to publish results. - The academia vs industry dilemma is real. - Tasks are not only related to research duties. - Every task requires a set of transferable skills. - The work doesn't stop when you leave the lab. - You are encouraged to have international mobility. - Internationality comes with intercultural challenges. - It's purpose-driven with high emotional investment. - Supervisors are not equipped with leadership skills. - There aren't many stable opportunities in academia. It's a challenging career that requires very specialised support. One-size-fits-all solutions provided by generalist training companies don't fit scientists' needs. You need to be part of this ecosystem to understand what it's like being a scientist. 👩🔬👨🔬 And that's why we do what we do at Chaperone It's career support from scientists to scientists. We've already partnered with 40 institutions across 10 countries and helped 2000 scientists. 🔔 If you are responsible for developing scientists' careers at your institution, send me a message and let's talk about it.
