Expansion at Seltek!

Seltek welcomes Kristina Southcott to the team in Bishop's Stortford, working on commercial jobs in the life science sector, from graduate trainee to director.

Kristina is one of the brightest stars from last year's crop of natural science graduates from Cambridge University (Queens). Subsequent experience as a medical representative has given her a powerful insight into the role of the salesperson in science.

Hailing originally from Wales, Kristina is interested in rugby! What a surprise! Apart from this she is one of life's great organisers; at college she organised just about everything as President of The Milner Society (Queens' College Natural Science Society, and emerges from this background as a consummate 'maker-of-things-to-happen' !

Now she wants to organise...your next career move! So if you are looking for help in achieving this, please contact Kristina on 01279 657716 or email kristina@seltekconsultants.co.uk

Scientific recruitment in biotechnology bucks the trend for 2010!

A recent survey of over 550 scientific organisations shows a UK-wide positive outlook for 2010 recruitment.

Although the UK science labour market had a tough 2009, shedding both permanent and contract staff, the biotechnology sector has been resilient to the consumer downturn and saw an increase in the requirement for skilled scientists. This sector also bucks the trend by predicting a significant increase in the recruitment of contract staff in the coming 12 months too. However, the majority of respondents in this sector found it much harder to recruit staff in 2009 than 2008.

From all the sectors in the survey, biotechnology were second only to Oil/Gas/Petrochemicals in hiring the most permanent staff compared to the previous year, however they are now near the top in terms of numbers of permanent staff they are planning to hire. This positive trend continues for contract scientific staff hire, although the level looks to remain stable rather than increase during 2010. This differs when the question is asked in terms of general use of contract staff across all disciplines including admin, finance etc. as this has seen a decrease throughout 2009.

Learn from Others!

In a job interview for policemen the applicants are shown a profile picture of a man, and the interviewer says, "The job that you're applying for requires powers of observation. Make one observation about this man."

The first applicant enters and says, "This man has just one ear." 
"Get out!!" screams the interviewer.

The second applicant enters and says, "This man has one ear." 
"Get out!!" screams the interviewer again.

Then the third applicant gets up to go in for his interview. The first two guys are out there and they tell him, "The guy that's giving the interview doesn't like to hear that the man in the picture has one ear."
"Thanks for the tip" says the third applicant.

So the third applicant enters, stares at the picture for a while and finally he says, "This man wears contact lenses." 
The interviewer is impressed and says, "Excellent observation. Tell me, how could you tell?" 
So the guy says, "Well, this man has just one ear, how could he wear glasses?"
