My career path really took a new direction during my experience with 2nd Lab. Before, I didn't have a very clear vision of how to move from research to industry, but this opportunity opened my eyes. It pushed me to realize that the skills I was acquiring were far more transferable than I'd thought, and to think about the areas I really wanted to focus on when applying for jobs. When you're absorbed in your thesis, you often forget to think about the next stage of your career, and get caught up in the day-to-day. Having access to so much practical content (such as CV creation, LinkedIn optimization, interview preparation) has helped me enormously to look at my next steps with more confidence.
The 2nd Lab helped me understand that there was more than just one possible path in the industry. Before, I'd only heard of careers in R&D, and I wasn't sure it was for me. In the end, I did land a job in R&D, but after exploring and eliminating other options, not by default. Plus, my mentor was really committed. She helped me enormously, whether by proofreading my CVs and cover letters, or by taking me through mock interviews. It gave me confidence and a better understanding of what makes a really solid application.
