| Comment | I don't want to disclose too much personal info but I've seen a lot of candidates like yourself come through for lab jobs and the managers see straight through it. It takes so long to train people up to our way of doing things that it just isn't worth it for someone to leave within the year unfortunately. We actually reduced our requirements and take on people from unusual backgrounds because of this. Ultimately it's all about money and getting good value. I realise this doesn't help you much but I guess the perspective from the other side might be of some use to you. The only thing I can think of would be to look for a fixed term contract or maternity cover (or similar), be upfront about the masters, and provide assurances to the company that you will sit out your full contract before leaving. |
