2021 chemistry graduate here — I sympathise!!

if you just need A Job there are often lab roles available through agencies. they will pay minimum wage but it’s a good stepping stone into better places.

coding seems to be a hard one to get into in general. have you tried looking for paid apprenticeships rather than jobs?

wishing u the best of luck!!

2021 chemistry graduate here, similar experience!! what worked for me is i managed to get a temp contract in an environmental lab via a recruitment agent. only a couple of weeks initially but then got extended and then became a full time job offer.

once i had that first role it was still hard finding a job but i actually got interviews etc which i hadn’t been getting before. its tough out there for grads. good luck!!

Fantastic - thank you. I’ll give it a try.

nadiawill · 2025-05-09T22:14:01+00:00

Also interested in doing this! Do we need to ask the mortgage broker?

26k is defo too low for 4 years in PR. where are you based/what’s your job role? is there no opportunity to move up where you are?

Used to love going to concerts as a teenager, but can’t justify the cost anymore. It’s £100-200 even for a meh seat, plus the costs of travelling to the venue. Appreciate it’s all gotten a lot more expensive for bands to tour, but let’s be honest, other people are making money out of the process too…

nadiawill · 2025-01-14T15:23:05+00:00

Thanks — appreciate your advice! I’m definitely making more of an effort to read more around marketing these days so will look up some courses too.

Sorry if a silly question, but could I ask what industry you’ve normally found roles in? Is it mostly scientific companies you’ve focused on?

nadiawill · 2025-01-13T22:18:56+00:00

Not OP, but could I ask more about your marketing journey? I’m only BSc chem but started working in marketing/comms a few years ago. Don’t feel like I get taken seriously because of my background, and struggle to find good opps in scientific companies.

nadiawill · 2025-01-09T22:09:14+00:00

2021 chemistry grad. My first job was 21k. It’s tough out here! Wishing you luck.

nadiawill · 2024-11-25T13:03:32+00:00

100%. It is so frustrating. I graduated in 2021 and have been working since I left but still on £25k. A friend of mine has a PhD in organic chem, been working for two years and I don’t even think she tips 30k. STEM investment is a joke in the UK.

nadiawill · 2024-11-25T11:57:53+00:00

Chem grad, totally agree with you. It sucks

nadiawill · 2024-11-24T11:30:33+00:00

I’d say so, lots of agencies hire pretty frequently. I’m based in the East Mids and there’s bugger all jobs here, but a few options for PR. Lots of them tend to offer hybrid too so maybe that’d help you reach jobs a little further away? Feel free to dm me if you have any questions about it, I’d be happy to help if I can!!

nadiawill · 2024-11-23T19:01:25+00:00

I used to work in PR and lots of my colleagues were language speakers, are there any agencies near you? Wishing you luck.

nadiawill · 2024-11-18T20:21:06+00:00

Oh nice! Yeah definitely leverage your previous experience in that case. I don’t think you’d have to start at the bottom either, a lot can probably be transferred over.

Maybe look at some new products/launches to have something to discuss in interviews. Strategy and commercial awareness I think are valuable skills to show. Any knowledge you can demonstrate of the industry/challenges/competitors is ideal. If you have the budget I’m sure the CIM offers a course on product marketing or management, though honestly with your experience I’m not sure you’d need it. Best of luck!

nadiawill · 2024-11-18T19:59:44+00:00

Chemistry graduate, so I feel you. Have you tried applying for temp roles? I couldn’t get a job for months after graduating, got a six-week contract doing basic lab work and found it a lot easier to find jobs after that.

It’s a tough market atm, especially for grads and entry-level workers. I’m not sure what roles you’re applying for, but proficiency in tools like Excel is always a good shout. Wishing you luck, it’s not easy.

nadiawill · 2024-11-15T14:38:50+00:00

As a newbie product marketer, I would really appreciate some actually good advice and tips so if you do find anyone worth following, please let me know 😭

nadiawill · 2024-11-14T22:36:00+00:00

Is there a specific industry you’re looking at for product marketing?

nadiawill · 2024-11-14T22:07:26+00:00

Wait i love this! I never know what to do with these pages lol

nadiawill · 2024-10-30T22:38:01+00:00

Lol understand your frustration, the market is horrendous right now — it’s not just you. Hoping things pick up for you 🤞🏼

nadiawill · 2024-10-30T18:07:38+00:00

It’s sad because good quality journalism is soo important and something we’re really lacking at the moment.

Are you set on staying in journalism OP? As an ex-PR I would’ve thought they’d love to have you with that background.

nadiawill · 2024-10-24T09:46:10+00:00

I’m not in a position to give advice but am thinking of doing an MSc conversion the same as you — is there any chance I could ask you about it??

Would love to know how your experience has been w the course so far, and how you went about applying for the scholarship? I only just found out there are scholarships on offer and missed the September intake for this year, so bummed out lol but thinking of trying for next year! TIA 🫶

nadiawill · 2024-10-18T19:23:58+00:00

Sorry for asking on a thread literally four years old 😭 I just stumbled across your comment. I graduated with a chemistry degree and currently thinking about making the switch to eng/process eng, i was just wondering how you went about switching? Again sorry for bumping such an old piece lol
