Témoignages

Romane O, PhD/ Scientist Preclinical development

The 2nd lab helped me realize that there were more than one industry career path available. I was mostly aware of R&D careers and I was not sure this avenue was for me. I ended up in a R&D position after all, but after having ruled out other possibilities, rather than by default. Also, my mentor was very dedicated, she helped me a lot by proofreading my CVs and cover letters or helping me practice mock interviews, which helped me gain confidence and insight on what really makes a candidature valuable.

Kyle D

My view of my career path changed during my time with 2nd Lab because I was able to see the path forward into industry that wasn't as obvious when I was deep into my research. It also forced me to start thinking about how the skills I was developing are actually transferrable, and what skills I wanted to focus on to go and apply for jobs.
