Introduction | Frustrated Biomedic
Hi world! *Waves awkwardly*
I graduated in BSc Biomedical Science with First Class Honours in
the summer of 2016. Sounds pretty impressive, right? Well it's actually not
that great considering I can't walk into a hospital and demand the role of a
Biomedical Scientist *sigh*... I honestly thought that crawling my way through
three years of university, studying such an intensive and difficult course
would give me enough credibility to start working in a hospital laboratory but
guess what? I WAS WRONG!
Turns out that having a degree isn't enough. I need to be trained
by a professional to build my portfolio and qualify as a scientist. Now,
searching for a trainee Biomedical Scientist post is no easy task. I have come
across a handful of vacancies in the West Midlands but I don’t think that's a
viable option for me. I live in London and being an Asian, Muslim female the
concept of moving out is alien to me LOL. Our parents like to keep us in their
homes for long as it’s physically possible. Independence? What's that?
But really, I don't think I could leave my hometown (London) to
start a new life in a remote village. I wouldn't fit in and I simply wouldn’t
know how to function. The hustle and bustle of a busy city is engraved in my
DNA and is vital to my survival haha.
Anyways, I feel like I'm rambling. So let me just get to the
point. I am a recent graduate looking for a trainee position to qualify as a
Biomedical Scientist. I also wish to study medicine in the near future so I
will also be preparing myself for that too. I have created this blog to share
my journey into a career as a scientist and maybe one day a DOCTOR, Insha'Allah
(God willing). I will take you through my ups and down, keeping it as honest as
I can.
P.S. Please excuse my amateur first post. I promise I'll get
better. Can't wait to bring more interesting content your way!
Great, perfect and capturing. This sounds like the begining of something good. In the online world there are too many fashion blogs. And not many life of the normal and ambitious. I wish you the best of success for your future post be sure to mention all the details. Look forward to read more. 5*

ReplyDeleteThank you for your faith, it means a lot and it's a real confidence booster :)
ReplyDeleteI think this sums up the frustration of a lot of us, the truth is that the market is overflowed and people with masters degrees and experience are sometimes getting entry level jobs (like the trainee jobs you mentioned) and there's nothing left for graduates.
ReplyDeleteI will talk more about overqualified individuals in entry level jobs in my next post. Unfortunately it's extremely tough out there :(
DeleteThis is a great post! Very relatable in some aspects and realistic. I look forward to reading some more of them. :) It sounds like you've got some great plans ahead of you and I do wish you good luck with your career! Xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, that means a lot! I can wait to share more x
