Life Science Recruitment’s Sinéad Cullen discusses the evolving life science recruitment space and the opportunities you can create for yourself.
Some people know from a very early age the direction they want their life to take professionally. But for many, possibly even the majority, minds change over time and it may be well into your education or career before you have a firm idea of where you would like to end up.
Sinéad Cullen, the director of Life Science Recruitment, which is a member of the Vertical Markets Group, started out with an undergraduate degree and master’s in neuroscience, obtained from UCC and Trinity College Dublin respectively.
During that time she was actively involved in a range of science outreach programmes, competitions and initiatives, including I’m a Scientist Get me Out of Here, in which she won funding to run her own workshop out of the Biomedical Diagnostics Institute at DCU.
However, while the work was rewarding, particularly the workshops that enabled her to share her expertise with the next generation of scientists via workshops, she soon came to the realisation that she envisioned a different professional future.
