Evidence

This weekend I was in Rhinebeck, New York at Omega Institute for a workshop with my dear friend, Jennifer Pastiloff.  Jen is the author of the book, On Being Human, and she leads workshops on the topic. I’ve attended multiple of Jen’s retreats including one in Italy and they are all different yet, magical.  

Today Jen was sharing the concept of “what evidence are we looking for?” and I think it has a lot of overlap with a career search– ask yourself… “What evidence am I looking for?” Are you looking for evidence that you CAN make a career transition to biopharma? OR are you playing it safe and looking for all the evidence that you CAN’T?

For example, if you are stuck in the mindset that you aren’t able to make the transition, you will find evidence for just that… the job description has a requirement in it that you don’t have, the recruiter did not respond to your email (or worse, totally ghosted you have a conversation), you’ve applied for numerous positions but gotten no responses.  

When we look for evidence for what we WANT in life it will become evident; but you MUST look for it! So instead of looking at what you don’t have as a requirement in the job description, how about looking for what experiences you do have? 

Life is about mindset – this exercise in looking for the evidence for what you want is a great way to practice mindset about your career transition (and for those of you already in biotech/pharma, your career as well!)

Ready to make a career transition to pharma/biotech… want to explore a way to use your medical training and knowledge in a fulfilling way without nights and weekends call or charting. Watch this webinar on Getting Past the Three Major Hurdles to a Career in the Pharma Industry HERE.
