Biotech careers:
Choosing biotechnology as a career can be the best option for life science job aspirants to build a better career in the future. Biotechnology can additionally grow your career as well as your vision towards your goal. If you are a job aspirant in the life science field, you normally search for laboratory and academic careers, which are quite disappointing nowadays because of the tough exams like NET and GATE. After even qualifying the exam it is getting difficult to get a fellowship in a recognized university or in a research center for further growth in your career.
From my experiences, I would
recommend shifting your goal towards commercial division like the
pharmaceuticals, agricultural products, animal farming, probiotics, diary,
transgenic crops, transgenic animals, etc. Practical experiences matter a lot
rather than your qualification and theoretical knowledge. You might have heard
about the industrial biotechnology and experimental biotechnology that is being
used to produce unharmed and less cost-effective products from local raw
materials. I would also recommend here to most of the job aspirants who are
really keen to work in biotechnological fields, should change their mind and
media of communication to be active in LinkedIn like social networking sites,
where you can get the best opportunities and direct offer from the human resource
departments of various biotechnology-related organizations.
