Find Your Dream Job
Come to the career day and
talk to important companies in the Life Sciences sector.
Tips for a successful career day
What type of companies are exhibiting and which kinds of questions could you ask?
How can you prepare and which areas pique your interest?
Meet employees from the companies and ask them how it is to work there.
Find out what the company specialises in and in which areas they are involved.
Tell the company which field of study really fascinates you and in which area you would like to work in future.
What are your goals and your passions?
Find out how large the company is and how many employees it has.
Where are they based? Do they have any subsidiaries in other countries?
Then you might get the chance to work on sites and projects internationally.
Is it a Government or Local/Regional Authority and therefore civil service? Then you might have a chacne for part-time work or possibly a career as a civil servant.
You would be able to stay in one location and only have to take short trips.
Is it a small company? With few employees?
Then the chance to be involved in important projects right from the start is much higher.
Could be a great chance.
Do they offer a trainee programme?
This gives you the opportunity to work in different department and decide afterwards which you like best and where you would prefer to work in future.
Note down the names of the people you talk to.
This can be very useful, even later in your career.
Return home with bundles of new and useufl contacts and interesting insights about which areas you would like to work when starting your career.
And maybe you have already found an internship or received a student placement or a job offer.
We wish you a successful career day!
