Participant comments

Since everyone's career is different, I decided that I would carve out my own career path.
By listening to the succession of talks, it became clear that even though it is a research job, what is expected of a person, what they can do, and what they think can vary greatly depending on the organization and position they belong to.
What was striking was that many of the speakers all shared the importance of "thinking things through."
Before taking the course, I was only looking at industries and sectors that perfectly matched my field of expertise, but the speakers had a broader perspective and were impressed by how they looked at jobs that would allow me to utilize my experience and skills. From now on, I would like to research companies with a broader perspective and strive to improve skills other than my specialty, without being too caught up in my specialty.
I'm glad I was able to broaden my horizons. Also, because each person's career is really different, I realized once again that it's important to think carefully for yourself.
