How to Follow Up with an Employer
If after applying for a few jobs in science you have yet to hear anything back, follow-up. Here’s how to do it professionally:
- Have patience. Give the employer some time to review applications before following up. Typically, a week or two is appropriate.
- Go for an e-mail. A concise and polite follow-up e-mail is the perfect medium at this stage of recruitment.
- Reach out to the right contact. Address the recruiter or hiring manager by name. You can find their contact on the job opening or by calling and asking. No luck? Use a simple “Dear Hiring Manager”.
- Mention the role. State which role you applied for and when.
- Reiterate your fit. Briefly bring up why you’re the ideal candidate. Highlight your relevant qualifications and skills.
- Ask for a timeline. Politely inquire about the expected timeline for the hiring process and attach your resume to the e-mail.
Interview Tips for Science Jobs
To land jobs in science, you’ll need to face one or more job interviews. Some interview questions will be very specific about the science field you’re going to work in. For example:
- Can you describe your experience in the fieldwork and laboratory research in biology?
- Describe a complex chemical analysis you conducted. What methods and instruments did you use?
- How do you approach solving a physics problem when faced with limited data?
Many questions, however, will be somewhat predictable. Most recruiters tend to focus the questions on your education, skills, experience, and management of hypothetical scenarios.
They might ask you to describe yourself, your strengths and weaknesses, or why you left your previous job. Other common interview questions include:
- Why do you want to work here?
- Where do you see yourself in five years?
- Why should we hire you?
You can easily spot situational or behavioral questions because they usually start with “Tell me about a time…” or “If you…”. Answer them like a pro by following the STAR method. These are useful to grasp your personality and assess if you are fit for the role responsibilities and company culture.
Finally, remember to send a quick thank-you note after the job interview. It will help solidify your positive impression on recruiters.
What to Do When You Get an Offer
There’s so much preparation leading to a job offer, but what should you do when you get one?
- Say thank you. Respond promptly to the job offer with a quick email or phone call to express gratitude. Show appreciation for the opportunity and enthusiasm about the offer.
- Request a reasonable timeline. Agree with the company on the timing to provide an answer. A job can be a life-changing event, so you need to carefully evaluate your options.
- Assess the offer. Compare the total compensation package. This means looking at pay and benefits such as insurance coverage, retirement plans, equity in the company and more.
- Finally, negotiate if necessary. If you think your experience and skills can get a better offer, don’t be afraid to ask. Be polite and professional and come with a strong case.
Science Job Career Paths
After gaining experience in science jobs, aim for senior roles with more responsibilities, leadership opportunities, and a chance to shape the direction of your field. Four of the most common senior positions in science include:
- Senior research scientist: in this role, you’d lead research teams, design and execute complex experiments and manage various research projects. You’d play a pivotal role in setting research priorities and developing new methodologies, contributing to the advancement of your field.
- Principal investigator: interested in securing funds, designing, managing research projects and mentoring junior researchers? The role of principal investigator (PI) could be for you. PIs are experts in their domain and drive innovative research agendas.
- Director of research and development (R&D): in the corporate sector, as a senior scientist you could eventually progress to the role of Director of R&D. You’d guide the strategic direction of the company’s research efforts, manage R&D teams, and ensure development of technologies.
- Chief scientific officer (CSO): this is the highest-ranking scientific executive in a company or organization. In this position, you’d manage the entire department of science, set the company’s vision, and make critical decisions about R&D initiatives.
