#118: Interview with Sara Andersson about the conflict between her PhD interests and her personality

'I really never knew how I felt in the lab, what does it really mean [for me]?... I'm a creative person, I love to meet people [and] I realised that being in the lab can be quite lonely', Sara asked herself during her time as a PhD candidate.

In this episode, Tina Persson, the founder of PhD Career Stories, interviews Sara Andersson, who tells us about her PhD journey and how she became a talent advisor at Mpya Sci & Tech.

Sara finished her PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences at Uppsala University where she gained experience as a manager, problem-solver and critical thinker. During her PhD years, she learned in detail about the pharmaceutical industry and she also chaired the doctoral committee which tremendously helped her to understand the skills and the challenges faced by a PhD candidate.

In this podcast, Sara also shares how she got her job as a recruiter and how this fits her previous experiences. Since Sara herself has travelled the path of a PhD, she understands the applicant's journey, which allows her to help, advise and recruit graduates in the science and technology fields.
