You might have diverse motivations for attending the Life Science Career Day: curiosity, career guidance, preparing for what’s next, or looking for a job. Whatever your reason, you’re in the right place!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every new chapter in life has a beginning and an end. Regardless of your academic goals, the conclusion of each stage leads to new adventures. But transitions can be intimidating (or challenging). Don\u2019t worry! This event is designed to help you through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The program starts with an inspiring session<\/a> that will discuss choosing between academic and non-academic paths. When is the right time to decide? What\u2019s the private sector like? Does one choice mean saying goodbye to the other forever? Our speaker, Laure Crabbe-Vert<\/strong><\/a>, will offer surprising insights and inspire the audience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Transitioning means connecting with others! Throughout the day, you\u2019ll have the opportunity to network with companies, organizations, and 40 guests from various fields such as environment, neuroscience, health, plant science, data science, and much more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the closing session<\/a>, guests will provide a comprehensive overview of employment opportunities in life sciences, and our career experts will offer valuable advice to support you in taking your first step in transitioning to the next chapter of your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Check in advance the participating companies and organizations<\/a><\/strong>, as well as the alumni and invited speakers<\/a><\/strong> you want to meet during the day: you will have real opportunities to talk to them during the networking and career orientation sessions (no need to plan the meetings beforehand).<\/p>\n\n\n\n If networking is an art, keeping in touch is an even greater one! It might be helpful to have your LinkedIn profile<\/strong> up-to-date to connect with people you’ve interacted with. You can also come with a business card<\/strong> or with a short resume<\/strong> (for recruiters and companies), and your interlocutor will perhaps exchange her\/his business card with you too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Regarding your resume, you can get some advice here<\/a> on how to prepare it and\/or have it proofread by professionals all year round on university campuses (here is a list of services<\/a>). *<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the day, we propose a chat with a professional<\/strong> recruiter <\/strong>(organized by our partner Talendo<\/a>): come with your resume and get valuable feedback from the private sector! This exercise is recommended for those who have a clear idea of their professional choices and are already looking for work outside academia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to this service, you can add the perfect touch to your resume with a professional headshot (by Aliaphoto<\/a>). Spots are very limited and are for those who are about to apply for a job.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOur suggestions to get the most out of the day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
