As I promised you, I will try to find out as much as possible about career opportunities for graduates in Life Sciences. Yesterday was one of the more inspiring days (but unfortunately it was too late to still post about it. Sorry!). I attended two talks about sustainable entrepreneurship. I’m all pro sustainable lifestyle, but that’s not what I’m going to write about today. Let’s just focus on the entrepreneurship itself. It all comes down to this: if you have a good idea, just do it!

A few years ago I created a LinkedIn profile, because I was told it could be useful for job searching in the future. For a long time I was not actively using my profile, and the only people checking my page were friends and family, and one curious researcher after I had a job interview with her. Until the day I changed my professional headline, you know, that one line of information about your current position below your name. The next day I was contacted by a recruiter who wanted to discuss a job opportunity as an account manager within a biotech company.

Are you prepared for the start of your career?

Maybe you are doing life science related studies and you know exactly what you want to do next. That's great! 

Maybe you started your studies recently and you are not worried yet about what's next. Fine.

Maybe you graduated and found a job that suits you in no time. Amazing!

But maybe you recently graduated (or will soon) and you have no idea what to do next. Shit..
