A and B

HOW?

Underose 2012

MATCHING YOUR MAJOR AND WORKLIFE

1. ”Stem cell researcher, stem cell research”

Your major and topic are just the special knowlegde that

the employer is looking for. Not so many jobs, narrow and deep

expertise. Substance knowlegde mostly.

2. ”Environmental scientist, nuclear plant”

Natural scientific understanding and application in practice.

Process and communication skills important.

Major not important, science is.

3. ”Biochemist, director in ELY-centre”

Academic brain, ability to see the big picture, processes,

projects. Process and communication skills important.

No major, no topic important.

NETWORKING

• Daddy calls and asks to hire a son (old- fashioned way, there are no jobs outside inner circle)

• An expert participates in a discussion in LinkedIn (networking means you can become visible by yourself showing your expertise)

• Virtual possibilities to network

• Building an expertise brand in science or in practise is different
