Seeking a Rewarding Career in Life Sciences? Explore Exciting Graduate Opportunities

The life sciences industry offers a variety of exciting career opportunities for passionate individuals seeking to make a meaningful impact on the world. If you’re a recent graduate with a passion for working with animals, and a desire to contribute to ground-breaking scientific research, Agenda Life Sciences is here to help you launch your successful career journey. At Agenda, we believe that when starting your new role, it’s important to hit the ground running and confidently transition into your new industry position.

Smoothly Transitioning into Your New Role

As a recent graduate, transitioning from an academic to an industry environment can be a daunting experience, unlike any you’ve previously encountered. To successfully get started and make the most of your new position, you should always do the following:

• Be Confident. Being the newest member of the workplace can be a challenge, as every new job requires some level of familiarisation. Be confident in your abilities, skills, and knowledge, focusing on what you already do well and applying these wherever you can.
• Stay Resilient. If you struggle or fail in something, it’s important that you use your mistakes as a way to improve, rather than letting them hang over you. Take what you have learned and move forward in a stronger position than before.
• Take initiative. Don’t wait for opportunities to come to you. Complete all your tasks to the best of your ability, ask questions, propose new ideas, offer solutions, and, if you feel up to it, take on more responsibility.
• Continuously listen and learn. Pay attention to those around you, take notes, and ask questions when needed. You will naturally gain a wealth of information from those around you, which you can build upon to enhance your own knowledge and skill set.
• Research Opportunities. Do your own research based on what you do in the workplace. If you find something particularly fascinating, ask if you can learn more about it. Don’t be afraid to ask for further opportunities to research, learn, and progress.
• Move forward. Keep in mind where you would like your career to take you and work towards that goal. For example, starting out as a Cage Wash Technician is a great way to develop into an experienced Animal Technician, with opportunities to progress to a more senior role.
