May 12 at 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm

About the talk

Landing a job after university is about more than earning the right degree—it’s about how you position yourself, build connections and communicate your value to employers.

The Master of Biotechnology (MBtec) program is hosting guest speaker Ian Richmond, Senior Manager from Thermo Fischer Scientific, with over 24 years of hiring experience across Canada, the US and Europe, who will share insights designed to help students and trainees navigate the transition from academia to industry.

What you’ll learn

  • What hiring managers really look for in candidates
  • How to write resumes that stand out
  • Why networking works for everyone—and why it matters
  • Common interview mistakes to avoid and how to leave a strong, lasting impression
  • How to stand out even without formal industry experience

Pre-registration is required, and space is limited.

Registration is open to:

  • Eligible fourth-year undergraduates in biology, chemistry and biochemistry
  • Master of Science students
  • Postdoctoral fellows in biology, chemistry and biochemistry

Refreshments will be provided.
