How to Get the Most Out of Your Scientific Recruitment Agency

Monday, February 8th, 2010

When registering with a scientific recruitment agency it is sometimes difficult for candidates to know how often they should be contacting their agency and exactly what type of contact to expect from the agency.

There are a number of strategies that, as a candidate, CK Science suggests that you could adopt to help your cause:

  • Email your consultant with a reminder of your requirements; try to be flexible with these as the consultant will immediately consider you for more scientific vacancies when they come in if you are.
  • Initiate regular contact. If you are having trouble getting a consultant on the phone, email them or contact them through LinkedIn with a (very important this) polite reminder that you are still available.
  • Update your CV regularly.
  • Try to follow what science vacancies are posted on the agency’s own site and ask the relevant consultant to be considered for the ones that are of interest.
  • Make yourself an asset by passing on interesting information (business or recruitment) as I am sure you appreciate the consultants are naturally more likely to work harder on your behalf if you have built up a relationship with them.
  • It is a difficult position to be in when looking for a change of career, but all recruiters are trying to help, try to be patient with them and once again, stay in touch.
  • From CK Science’s angle, we are constantly juggling new and existing candidates and aim to provide a consistently high level of service to all.

In order to engage and communicate with candidates CK Science are adopting new technology and social media such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Youtube and Twitter.

GSK to Commit £500 Million to UK Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing Plant

Monday, December 14th, 2009

 

The world-class pharmaceutical company, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), is set to spend £500 million on a new state-of-the-art biopharmaceutical manufacturing plant and on improving its facility in Ware, Hertfordshire. The move comes after a pre-Budget report reduced the rate of Corporation Tax on 10pc on income arising from UK patents.

It seems that over the past few months, GSK and the drug industry have been in talks with the government about the proposal, which has been labeled a “patent box”. Speaking of the ‘patent box’, Andrew Witty, chief executive of GSK, said: “The patent box is exactly the sort of active, long-term and creative support that we need from the Government to ensure that the UK remains an attractive place for highly skilled sectors such as pharmaceuticals. For GSK, assuming the new regime will apply to patents currently under development it will have the immediate impact of making the UK a priority area for future investments, particularly in manufacturing.”

There is much speculation regarding the location of the biopharma site, but Stevenage, Ulverston and Barnard Castle, where the company has existing sites, are all in the running. Products that could be developed there include Arzerra, for leukaemia, and Syncria, for type 2 diabetes.

This investment is GSK’s largest in the UK for at least a decade and highlights the impact that the new tax regime could have on companies investing in research and development. To read more about this story, please visit the Telegraph website.

Dress to Impress at Your Scientific Job Interview

Friday, December 11th, 2009

What to wear at an interview?

First impressions are everything, so make sure you dress to impress at your scientific interview. After all, the harsh reality is that if you don’t look the part, you could slash your chances of getting the perfect science job for you.

The way you dress says a lot about you – If you are well groomed and presented and take pride in your appearance, this indicates to your potential scientific employer that you will also take pride in your work.

Need a few pointers? Here are a few tips to help you dress for success at your scientific interview:

Tips for men:

  • Wear a smart suit that is not easily wrinkled.
  • Don’t wear a crazy tie – keep it professional and simple.
  • Wear smart, polished shoes – no trainers please!
  • Don’t go overboard on the aftershave.
  • Make sure your hair is clean, neat and tidy.
  • Avoid having piercings and tattoos on display

Tips of women:

  • Don’t wear a short skirt- knee length or below is perfect.
  • Wear a conservative suit.
  • Choose sensible footwear – no platforms or stilettos!
  • Wear underwear that matches your top half – wearing a black bra with a white blouse is not a good look!
  • If you want to wear jewellery, keep it simple.
  • Check those tights for ladders and holes.
  • Avoid having piercings and tattoos on display.

Some great places to get yourself a smart suit for your scientific interview are Marks & Spencer, Next or John Lewis.

Here at CK Clinical, we are committed to helping our candidates get their dream jobs in pharmaceutical. To improve your chances, we have produced a series of resources to help you along the way:
