Relating to my post last week on jobs in industry, concerning the slight disconnect between jobs in academia versus industry — the NatureJobs podcast has a special episode this past week from NatureJobs: From Academia to Industry [mp3]. In it, Pfizer’s Anthony Harrison talks about transferable skills that could help you move from a university-based PhD to Big Pharma.
About twelve and a half minutes into the podcast, the specific transferable skills that they’re talking about begin to be discussed. These are very good points for the academic to stress on his or her CV as they prepare for a job interview in Big Pharma.
