Overview
I have worked closely with a number of experienced study managers and clinical trial assistants to develop a great understanding of the clinical trial lifecycle. I attend team meetings virtually to discuss clinical trial progress, and also work independently on tasks assigned to me. I work with different systems and excel on a daily basis.
Skills
I have developed my presentation and excel skills greatly during my placement. I have learnt some great tips and tricks for using excel which I feel will come in very handy when completing my final year at university. I also believe that my written and verbal communications skills have improved throughout my placement, which I believe has consequently increased my personal confidence.
Responsibilities
I was given lots of responsibility during my placement, and probably more than I was initially expecting. However, I feel that I have been fully supported the whole time as colleagues have always been so willing to help whenever needed.
Support & Guidance
I received lots of support during my placement. This support came from my manager, supervisor and HR. I had regular conversations with these colleagues where they would ask how my workload was, if I had any questions or if there was anything they could help me with. Throughout my placement I have always felt that I have multiple people that I can ask for help and advise with my work.
Culture
I thought the atmosphere was extremely friendly and welcoming. I always felt comfortable enough to ask people for help or advise with work. I also got involved in two colleague resource groups within the company which create a really nice environment.
Your Impressions
I have really enjoyed my placement and will miss it when I go back to university. I believe that I have learnt so much during my time with Pfizer and that I have developed considerably as a person.
Yes
I would say that you should be yourself throughout the application process and not be afraid to ask any questions you may have. I would also say that if you are successful in your application, then you should take as many of the opportunities presented to you as possible.
