Taking part in BSNL broadened my professional horizons by allowing me to build an extensive network and develop useful project and team management skills. I met wonderful hard-working people, who brought me confidence that everyone can find his/her dream job!

At BSNL, I had the chance to work with highly motivated and talented peers and to become part of an amazing team. I learned how to organize events and network with experienced professionals. Moreover, my time in BSNL helped me to gain self-confidence. Ultimately, my BSNL activities set myself apart from other Life Scientists so that I succeeded to find my dream job right after completing my PhD studies!

I had an immense pleasure and a lot of fun at BSNL ! It allowed me to improve my communication and management abilities and above all to acquire a network I never would have thought possible during my PhD. I have now a clear knowledge of the job market after a PhD and what I want to do. Above all, I met great and motivated people and made new friends.

It was my great pleasure to be part of BSNL, where I have met passionate and amazing people. I have learned so much, especially in event management and public outreach and I am sure that these new skills will help me in my future career.

At BSNL I was part of a motivated group of students that work hard to create networking opportunities. I got to hone transferable skills, such as teamwork and event management, that I am convinced will help me in my future career development.

BSNL gave me the opportunity to improve several skills that you normally do not practice in academia, such as team work and managing people. Most importantly, BSNL has allowed me to create a broad network, which was one of the things that helped me find my current job.

BSNL allowed me to make a full list of opportunities available after PhD and understand what I want through communication with people.

Working for BSNL helped me connect with people and expand my working perspectives and networking.

Being a BSNL member helped me to understand that it is possible to change your field of expertise early in your career, and this brought me to try and apply for jobs that were not strictly related to molecular biology. Moreover, it helped me gain confidence and taught me that networking is the key of finding your dream job.

Thanks to BSNL, I got to know about research happening outside of academia with good timing, so I had the proper knowledge to decide what would suit me best after my PhD. I then stayed in academia.
