Biochemistry professor Shahir Rizk was asked by the job-search engine Zippia ("The Career Experts") to share his thoughts on the job market and career opportunities in the pandemic-recovery and upcoming post-pandemic years. Naturally, the scientific base of knowledge and skills in one's major is important, but Rizk notes that "Another very important aspect is writing and oral communication. In virtually all sectors of science jobs, the ability to communicate information to different levels of audiences is crucial to success." So please consider your next writing assignment or presentation as a useful training tool for your career rather than just another assignment. Please check out the full post at Zippia here.
