  • From the Archive: The Industry Job Search is a Marathon, Not a Sprint

    February 25, 2019

    For an industry job for scientists, the interview process generally takes six to eight weeks.  Starting with an initial phone screen, successful candidates move on to an on-site interview where they usually meet with a number of people from the organization and give a scientific presentation.  Next is the final interview, during which a verbal offer may be extended.  What is not as well elucidated is how long the overall search process is likely to take. The rule of thumb in industry is that your job search will take one month for every $10,000 of the job’s salary and generally longer for your first industry position.  The positions sought by…

  • Feedback Audit – Guide to Working with Me

    February 18, 2019

Here are some questions to ask yourself: What are your pet peeves about feedback? How sensitive am…

    February 11, 2019

    Maybe you are not sure how to process your latest performance review at work, or maybe an offhand critical comment has left you ruminating.

  • JOMO – Embrace the Joy of Missing Out

    February 4, 2019

    Many are familiar with FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). This acronym was coined by Patrick McGinnis, an entrepreneur and investor, during his time at Harvard Business School. As a small-town boy from Maine he describes the overwhelming nature of being “transplanted from a calm place with a simple lifestyle to a hub of 1,800 highly ambitious, connected young people.” His mania to try to fit it all in led to his FOMO discovery and his book FOMO Sapiens is now available. What is the antidote to FOMO and the accompanying feeling that you are never doing quite enough? JOMO – the Joy of Missing Out – is about being present…
