PhDs - In 20 years of hiring and building teams, the strongest people I ever hired had 3 things in common: 1. Growth mindset 2. Empathy 3. Work ethic It wasn't their skills that made them great. It was their attitude and approach. Many recruiters and hiring managers have experienced the same: great candidates aren't always those with the most skills. So, if you're beginning your job search: 👉Look beyond technical skills - what unique strengths do you bring to the table? 👉Take some time to reflect about what you want and need from a company 👉What are some companies that embody your values (and who are their look-alikes)? Answering these questions can help you build a focused roadmap for your search. Your personal roadmap can help guide your application towards company's and roles that will value what you uniquely bring to the table. 🔁Pass it along - repost to help a friend :) _________________________ Are you a PhD, PostDoc, or Mid-Career Researcher struggling to land an industry job?

“Isaiah, I applied to ThermoFisher 2 weeks ago and a hiring manager got in touch with me and I had my first interview…. But then a 2nd hiring manager reached out about another job I applied to. I started talking to this 2nd manager and they asked if I applied to any other positions there. I told them about the other job and the other hiring manager. Now, neither of the hiring managers will get back to me. What do I do?” This is what a PhD told me last week. I hear stories like this all the time. I heard a similar story from another PhD last month who applied to 5 jobs at Intel and after 2 different hiring managers found out about the competing roles, they both ghosted. This is why I recommend only applying to one job posting at a company at a time. Choose the best fit job and apply to it. Unless, of course, you’re talking to a hiring manager directly and they tell you to apply to multiple jobs. Applying to one job at a time at a company shows a clear and focused interest in a specific role. It tells the hiring manager that you've done your homework, understand where you can contribute, and are truly interested in that particular position. This can set you apart from candidates who appear to be indiscriminately applying to multiple roles, which can come off as lacking direction. It can also help you get hired faster in a competitive job market where others are shotgunning resumes and applying to everything they find online. In larger organizations, different departments or teams may handle hiring independently. If you apply to multiple jobs simultaneously, and hiring managers from different departments express interest, discovering that another team is also considering the same candidate can lead to confusion. This might prompt both parties to step back, concerned about internal competition or the impression that the candidate is not genuinely interested in their specific role but just any job. Have you applied to more than one job at a company only to be met with silence? Tell me in a comment.

Technical Resourcer at LSC, Life Science Consultants | Specialising in C&Q and Validation contracts.
Navigating Career Transitions: The Importance of Transparency Embarking on a career journey often involves navigating a patchwork of experiences, some stitched tightly together, others with gaps that tell a story of their own. As a Technical Resourcer specializing in the dynamic Pharmaceutical Industry, I've observed the innate hesitation candidates have when it comes to addressing career breaks. Here's why I advocate for clear articulation of those intervals in your curriculum vitae (CV). -Clarity Breeds Confidence When career pauses are left unexplained, they become blank canvases for interpretation. By stating these gaps openly, you seize the narrative, transforming potential red flags into authentic expressions of your professional journey. -Reflect Your Growth Mindset Life's intermissions are often rich with personal development, from upskilling to volunteering. Detailing your activities during career breaks showcases a commitment to growth—a trait highly valued in the fast-paced Pharmaceutical sector. -Honesty Fosters Trust Transparency is the cornerstone of any professional relationship. By candidly discussing career gaps, you exhibit integrity, laying a foundation of trust. Our industry thrives on reliability, and your candidness reflects a professional ethos we and our partners respect. #CareerDevelopment #TransparencyInRecruitment #Pharmaceuticals
