💡 Action Step: Set Your Job Search Intentions

Before you begin, take a moment to clarify your job search goals:

  1. What type of biostatistics roles are you aiming for? (e.g., clinical trials, epidemiology, regulatory, etc.)

  2. What’s the ideal company or environment you want to work in? (e.g., academia, pharmaceutical, biotech, remote)

  3. What’s your target salary range or compensation package? (Having clarity here will help guide your decisions)

Write these down, and revisit them throughout the course to ensure you stay on track with your goals. By setting clear intentions, you’ll be able to make smarter, more focused decisions during your job search.
