quote: Originally posted by Provost Harrison A lot of it was vascular stuff, half into investigations into pulmonary artery, the other part into vasa nervorum (arteries of the nerve), and then cell culture culturing primary dorsal root ganglia and it was just hard to conceive how I can get those to go together.

1. What techniques did you use? What more general areas of literature are you familiar with? How's your knowledge of histology?

2. If you can't pull the snowball together, it is usually better to write a thesis about your recent work. Just publish a few papers and stitch them together. Better to do research which you know you will publish regardless of "success".

I know nothing about the bio industry, but you got the interview. I'll assume that they already recieved your resume and considered you adequately qualified, to interview hence give the job to; unless your lying on the resume. Therefore it isn't the qualifications which are the problem, but the interview. There was mention of overqualification, if your overqualified I don't think they would of called you in. I could be wrong here.

Some tips on job hunting:
A lot of jobs aren't advertised;
-- ask people who you know could hook you up for advice and tell them your looking for a job in _____. Professors, Recent Graduates of the PHD program. Of course you'd already have to be 'friends' with them. Don't ask them for a job straight up, however.
-- Pick companies who you might be interested in working for and send them a letter of inquiry.

Interviewing Tips:
--Research the company and position before you go to the interview. Act enthusiastic about the position your interviewing for, even if your going to use it to tread water.
--Be able to nail the stupid questions, strengths/weaknesses, tell me about your self, your greatest accomplishment. etc.
--Send a thank you letter (hand written is supposedly best) after the interview, and follow up on it. Don't be annoying but leaving a message with secretary should be fine.

You may have heard all this crap before but maybe you haven't.

BTW when do they tell you about the rejection. I've never been told I was rejected straight up, but I find out a couple of weeks later that the position has been filled, of course I've only looked for internships/ part time and summer jobs before.

Actually No, as I understand it Pharma sales is a ***** to break into. You pretty much have to have good previous sales experience and know some one in the company. The Reps handle most of customer service too. I'm not sure that they hire any one on the technical (product) side with out some sort of graduate degree.

Pharma sells to Doctors, my man. I'm sure you knew that, pharmacies can't really increase sales of their prescription drugs. Any ways starting hometown pharmacy would be a bad idea right now, most of them are going kaput. Maybe it's different in the UK.

Try Canada?

There are some places that will fall all over themselves for a Brit. Toronto is a bit like that. Also one of the larger centres of commerce/industry/culture/learning/research in North America. Many American centres are bigger and more important, but you know... they're American.

Vancouver, OTOH is just a lot of fun. Quite big, but half the population act like they are eating poppies all day. Might be why they call it Lotus Land. Still, anything called British Columbia can't be all bad.

Moral Hazard is right, it is a bugger to get into that kind of thing. And also, a lot of the larger supermarkets are establishing pharmacies thus driving smaller pharmacies out of business, so it is not a wise choice of investment.

GP, my techniques include small vessel myography, mammalian cell culture principally in recent time, but also western blotting, ELISA, radioisotope work, quite a bit of stuff like that.

And as for papers, yes, there are about 3 in the pipeline, but I am waiting for the department who I worked for to get around to publishing them, it was them who were taking care of the things (joint efforts, but me as the first name )

Yes, that option is there Jack, but one I'd rather not take. I don't think I could see myself as a teacher, and don't honestly think I would enjoy it.

Come to the US then! Our companies and universities are cramed with immigrants. Errrr, can you dye your skin brown and affect an Indian accent?

Another choice lies right across the English Channel. The Netherlands is now the world's largest producer of synthetic abusable substances. There's a lot of money to be made there.

Often the outcome of an interview is just luck. As Moral Hazard pointed out, when you are selected for an interview you have the knowledge and skills for the job. The interview really is just a way to find out if (they think) you will fit in with the company. In other words, they want to know if you have the right chemistry, so to speak.

It's not nevessarily the appointee is better than you, just that the interviewer thinks he is the best fit in terms of character (mainly).

Still, I think your best recourse is to finish your doctoral. If you don't like Hull, go to another university.

Provost - take a year off.. if you don't do it now, you never will and that will give you the perspective as to what you could really like to do for your life.

Anyway if you go and travel there are many other things to learn/experience in life other than this morbid western lifestyle
