Continuing the occasional Friday pharma #EarlyCareer series. Last time we talked about site interviews. This time let’s talk about negotiating job offers. (Next time we’ll deal with the inevitable rejections.) 🧵 1/ 
Usual disclaimer: everything in this thread is my observations based on 20+ years of personal experience at pharmas big and small, and should not be construed as reflecting the opinions and practices of, nor an endorsement by, my employer. 1.5/
After a site interview, it’s typical for a job offer or “no thanks” to follow within a few weeks. Allow some time here as more than one person is often being interviewed for a position. If you have time pressure (competing offers), the sooner you tell the company, the better. 2/
Continuing the Friday pharma industry #EarlyCareer tip series. Last time we talked about phone interviews. This time let’s talk about the next step, a really big one: on-site interviews. 🧵 1/
If your phone interview goes well, the hiring manager will usually invite you for a site interview. Pre-pandemic, that almost always meant traveling to the pharma R&D site for the interview. These days, it may also be done virtually on Zoom or Teams instead. 2/
If you require accommodations for any reason, give the hiring manager or HR person a heads-up before the interview. Most companies are happy to work with you on this if they know. If they won’t, that’s a red flag. Consider then whether or not it’s worth going forward. 3/
I’m going to offer some more regular industry #EarlyCareer tips on Fridays. Keeping this focused on chemistry in pharma since that’s what I know about.
Let’s start with applying for the job! 🧵 👇 1/

First off, unlike many other lines of industry work, in pharma chemistry we usually ask for a comprehensive academic-style curriculum vitae (CV) rather than a shorter résumé. Sometimes these terms get used interchangeably in the US, but they’re not the same. 2/
This removes some pressure to compress your professional life into a page or two. A CV typically includes: contact info, work history (most recent first), educational history (most recent first), complete publications & presentations, and possibly other optional sections. 3/

Who wants to see the #Diversity data for @STFC_Matters, that was released by @UKRI_News last week?
The full data release is here, so if you want to see anything for yourself, go ahead: ukri.org/about-us/equal…

@STFC_Matters funds research & training into astronomy, particle physics, space & planetary sciences & nuclear physics. This is important because @ukhesa only report STFC as #physics – it’s so much more!
STFC have a #equality & #diversity statement here: stfc.ukri.org/funding/promot…

So, let’s start with @STFC_Matters #ethnicity data.
Worth noting that @UKRI_News collate three categories; ethnic minority, white, not disclosed.
We can’t separate out different ethnicity, which is a problem in itself.

CogDev friends! I'm attending a scientific retreat/mtg on the science of Children & Screens March 5-6 (host: childrenandscreens.com). We're looking for one more #EarlyCareer person to serve as a scribe and lead a white paper for the section on mid-childhood/pre-pubertal years 1/
"The interdisciplinary research retreat will host some of the world’s leading cognitive neuroscientists, imaging experts, neurophysiologists, psychiatrists. The retreat will explore the impacts of digital and screen media activity on cognitive and brain development." 2/
Interested? Msg me or email the retreat coordinator, Madeleine (madeleine@childrenandscreens.com). Should be some great networking, discussion, and science!

A little thread telling you one of my motivations for this #CitizenScience collaboration between @AutisticaUK and @turinginst.
It’s about how non-autistic folk can adjust our behaviour to make places easier for #autistic people to live and work.

In 2016 I was selected to attend #OpenCon @open_con - a conference to support #EarlyCareer researchers in #OpenData #OpenAccess and #OpenEducationalResources.
We were asked to watch a couple of videos before arriving in #DC to make sure we were all on the same page.

The video/webinar that stuck with me the most was the one on #Diversity, #Equity and #Inclusion in the #Open community.
And in particular the section by @pennyb which starts around 15:30
