💼 Small, medium vs. large companies - Where should you be applying?
⏩ I thought my only way to success was going up a corporate ladder in a large pharmaceutical company, so all my efforts were aimed at applying for the Graduate Schemes.
I failed every single application. More often than not, I haven't even heard from the recruiters, I got disqualified by an algorithm. When I did get through the algorithm, I had to compete with 1000 other people for 4 positions, so that didn't help either.
I did eventually end up working for a large company and didn't like it. So I tried the other side, a small company and that propelled my career.

The whole job application process is unfair and you cannot control most of the factors. What you can fully control though, is your CV and motivational letter
So let's get cracking and make it as perfect as possible to catch the attention of the Recruiters

Start building your professional relationships today
A wise man once said:
"I have not found it risky in my career to bet on a high potential, high energy, smart person that I know well by putting them into a job they have not done before. However, I have found it risky to depend on a resume or a 90 minute interview and put somebody into a job they have not done before."
What does that tell you about the job market?
Everything❗️

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
⏩ For most of you, the real answer might be: "I don't know" 🤷🏼♂️
And that is absolutely fine!
If you asked me 10 years ago, I would have said Clinical Pharmacist. But then I failed my MPharm degree.
So after Graduation I ended up in Quality Management not because I wanted to, but because it was the first job offer I got, so if you asked me 5 years ago, I would have said Qualified Person.
A lot of things have changed since, so if you ask me "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" today, I would answer "I don't know, but I live by the principle of try different things and experiment".

Failure = Opportunity
⏩ What is your biggest failure?
Mine? Failing a Clinical Practice exam twice and being told I wasn't going to graduate with an MPharm
All I heard was: "You are not good enough"
But what it really meant was: "It is not your cup of tea, try something else"
Today, I treat this failure as one of my greatest successes.
