Chasing Down the Future Leaders of the UK Pharma/MedTech Industry
Chasing Down the Future Leaders of the UK Pharma/MedTech Industry
As the CHASE Recruitment Consultant for our Graduate Academy, I recently attended Career Fairs in a variety of Universities across the UK. All the events were well attended and from the moment the venues opened, I had a constant queue of keen students wanting to know all about CHASE and how we can help them gain their first job into the Pharmaceutical, Medical Tech and Life-Science industry. Whilst there, I noticed the same questions came up repeatedly in conversation so thought it would be useful to share them!

Business graduates are also highly sought after, but as long as you are bright, self motivated, competitive and keen to learn, we would still like to see your CV!
