"I think these personality types definitely match me very well. For investigator I do like to work things logically and problem solving, it gives me a great sense of achievement knowing my knowledge solved a problem. This definitely applies to my job because I have to work in a team a lot and especially in a new role as an undergraduate you need to be able to pick up all the ideas and information from people when sitting in meetings and listening to conversations to understand what projects are without getting someone to sit down and explain everything to you which they may not always have time to do. It also means being able to remember facts that you hear during discussions and putting them together when the same project is bought up as to why it is relevant. For trainer, I definitely do enjoy helping others improve as most of the jobs and career paths I have taken have always had this in common. I am also always organised; I enjoy having a plan for the day and knowing where all my resources are for when I need them which also makes me more efficient. Simplifying complex information is crucial in my job in being able to give a project brief when working in cross functional teams. Being efficient and organised is also necessary in the job for when somebody need something doing on a tight schedule. I would say developer best describes me as I am very interested in the world around me and how to make it better and I like to improve things such as services or procedures and most definitely love learning new things. If I am not learning anything new the work can feel very mundane and boring for me- which is also why I am defiantly very inquisitive and strong willed always asking questions as to why something is the way it is. This relates to the essence of my job as to what the landscape in a certain therapy area is in the NHS and how to make it better- with the ultimate goal of improving patients lives. For quality controller I would I say I definitely like to challenge the way things have always been done as sometimes people just get used to certain habits and convenience so I always look to challenge ideas to make them better and shows I’m always curious to. For my job you have to be good with details as when creating information that is being sent to patients or doctors or the public you have to make sure that there are no errors. "

"I like that I get to work on so many different projects so that I can utilise all my strengths and get an insight into all the different project happening within my department and it keeps the job interesting- some projects work to improve patient access, some to improve the teams knowledge in a area or to create literature reviews or real world data projects. A main part of my job is helping with the approval process of documents and creating a disease awareness campaign which gives me a lot of responsibility and autonomy in how the project turns out. "

" I did my A levels in chemistry biology, psychology and English literature. I originally applied for medicine and speech and language therapy than realised I did not want that career in the future I had done a lot of work experiences up until this point in many healthcare settings such as GP, pharmacy, hospital and nursey, speech and language therapist and spoke to people from all professions which was the best way to see what I liked. And I had jobs such as a tutor, catering, and bar work. So I decided to keep my options open and studied medical sciences at university as I knew I really loved science. I really enjoy my degree and I even got to work in a lab for a month as if I was doing a PHD which I never thought I would enjoy but I did. Then I decided to do a placement year in between my second and 3rd year at university to get a better idea of roles that I may want a career in. I applied for primarily lab based roles and medical affairs roles I made sure I contacted as many people in roles similar to what I was applying for or had similar career pathways to see what jobs appealed to me the most which lead me to having the job I currently have "

"I am a dancer and actor so I like to train in many styles which is always fun and I get to meet new people and work on some cool projects such as being able to perform on the London Palladium stage. I also love the outdoors and I am quite adventurous so enjoy a good hike and traveling around the world. I am also a 3rd Dan black belt in Tae kwon do. "

"I upload documents to our approval system so that the team can use it compliantly. I help out with the projects my teams are running which involves using scientific knowledge of the therapy area and the project objectives to: Create slide decks Brainstorm ideas to overcome any obstacles the project faces Sit in on meetings to see how projects run Have good knowledge of timelines and any new updates in the area Part of the Culture group to project manage meetings and come up with ways to include culture in our team In charge of my own projects involving disease awareness which involves a lot of visual design, scientific knowledge, working with external organisations and charities.
