Speaker will present on her career path from obtaining a PhD in analytical chemistry to working at a large global, values-based biopharmaceutical company. The presentation will focus on skills to hone during graduate school based on skills that are evaluated when hiring someone after graduation. A review of company job opportunities and job descriptions will help direct the audience on how to start the job search process. A high-level overview of a typical interview process will be presented. The speaker will discuss the transition from being very focused in graduate school in one area of analytical chemistry (mass spectrometry) to working in a more general analytical development role. An overview of the day to day activities in her Scientist role straight out of graduate school will be compared to the day to day activities in her current role as an Associate Director along with career growth decisions that she made along the way. A review of lessons learned will provide insight on skills to practice now that can reap benefits in the future.
