Feedback from March 8th Futures in Life Science Event
Below are a few takeaways from the March 8th Futures in Life Science Panel Event to provide individuals guidance in thinking about their career paths. About 100 individuals joined us for a very enjoyable evening.
- Develop your skills of communication, presentation, listening, teamwork, project management, etc. Make yourself "a go to person" who knows how to solve problems. These skills will make you standout and be seen as a valuable resource to your current or potential employer.
- Get on LinkedIn and use it. It is the new "phone book".
- Don't rely only on technology such as Facebook, LinkedIn or email. In an increasingly high tech world, there is an increasing need for high touch. Actually write a thank you note. A hand written note goes a long way in being differentiated.
- It is important that individuals remember points outside of a person's resume - make yourself memorable through your experiences or personality.
- The stability of one's career is not the company they work for but the company they keep and what they do with the right people.
