Can you believe we’re well into December already?! For me, 2012 has flown by. Since this blog began in March this year we’ve had a post from a different CChem every month and they’ve all been individual, engaging and thought-provoking.
Some of the key themes I have picked up on are:
-
Everyone’s experience is unique - there is no single right way to achieve CChem
-
The range of job roles that CChems can be working in is huge and spans all sectors
-
Working towards CChem leads people to discover new opportunities
-
CChem candidates make new contacts and build their confidence
-
Holding CChem show you are a good all-rounder with an impressive set of skills
-
The experience can provide a good talking point for interview situations
There have also been some really interesting comments and discussion which, rest assured, are being taken on board here in the RSC office. To open up the discussion even more we are going to set up a new group here on MyRSC in the new year. This will aim to promote and encourage sharing of information and experience between CChems, mentors, candidates and people just thinking about their professional development. The blog will continue too and will feature stories from Chartered Scientists as well as CChems.
But for now, I’d just like to wish everyone a
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
See you online in 2013!
