This review is from: Job$ in the Drug Indu$try: A Career Guide for Chemists (Paperback)
Boy did I dread getting an industrial job! After being in academia for sometime (B.Sc., Ph.D., post-doc) I found the task of finding an industrial job daunting. I did not know what to expect nor did I know what type of chemistry job I wanted (medicinal, process, information specialist, etc.. the author describes them all) or how to approach my job search. Dr. Dick Friary has complied all of this material in text that is engaging and enjoyable to read, considering the subject matter. He explains your likely job responsibilities based on: the job you choose, the position sought, your experience, and your level of education (B.A. and higher). This quality of the book makes it timeless (I can use the same book for my next job search when/if needed) and allowed me to realize, for the first time, how the pharmaceutical and related industries function, and where I wanted to fit in! In the end I landed my desired job because this book prepared me for what to expect at interviews (there format, questions to ask and not to ask) and how to evaluate offers (health plans, stock options, cost of living expenses, etc...). In addition my foreign born fellow chemists enjoyed it because it includes information they needed to know about work Visas, etc..
