For the happy heart, life is a continual feast Pro

For the happy heart, life is a continual feast Proverbs 15:15 🤍 ☀️🍁#photodump Special moments from Summer to Fall & everything in between 📸

It’a all Sunshine & Rainbows (+ Waterfalls) 🌤

It’a all Sunshine & Rainbows (+ Waterfalls) 🌤️🌈🇨🇦

Full on tourist mode at Niagara Falls to spend quality time with family. Fun fact, it’s the fastest moving waterfall in the world 🌎

It was a perfect trip for a long weekend 🤍
Stayed 🛌: Road-tripped to Niagara & stayed On the Canada side
Food 🥘: @swaagat_niagarafalls (so so good!) and @anticaniagara

Things to Do 📝:
Boat ride into the falls with @niagaracruises (the “hornblower”)
Guided tour of the Niagara Parks Power Station + Tunnel (would skip if not super interested in the mechanics behind everything, but the views from the tunnel is very worth it).
Went to the top of the @skylon_tower for amazing views.
Fireworks right by the Falls are every night at 10pm from May-October.
Clifton Hills Entertainment District.
Niagara on the Lake.
Relax at Queen Victoria Park (also a great view of the fireworks).
Of course take in the beauty of the Falls.
Stopped in Toronto.

Transportation 🚗:
Niagara is very walkable by the main tourist spots! Mostly walked on foot, took an Uber a couple times, and used the Falls incline railway/funicular once. Parking at the hotel was ridiculously expensive, so we found a nearby parking garage.

All of those experiences have helped shaped me pro

All of those experiences have helped shaped me professionally and personally. Working clinical gave me so many skills that translate well into what I do now and I really wouldn’t change thing.

I’ve really been enjoying my role & where I am i

I’ve really been enjoying my role & where I am in my career and I think a lot of it has to with my mindset shift towards careers/work over the years. This role not only challenges me but also leans into some of my natural skills and abilities. I’m sooo so grateful to be a PharmD which has given me so many options + opportunities. While this page is largely focused on career/professional life, it’s important to point out that jobs come & go, careers fade, but the glory of God is what remains. May we remember to FIX our eyes on things eternal and not earthy, temporal things: “But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment. For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either” 1 Timothy‬ ‭6‬:‭6‬-‭7‬. “Set your mind and keep focused habitually on the things above [the heavenly things], not on things that are on the earth [which have only temporal value] ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭2‬

Stay your post 🤍

1. Having a good understanding of the pharmaceutic

1. Having a good understanding of the pharmaceutical industry as a whole. It’s not *just* about the role you’re applying for, but also understanding where this role fits into the bigger picture of pharma. This will help you target roles that are a good fit for you & help you to be well versed in your interviews. To do this, look into the entire drug development process and see how people with your educational/training background are involved in every step and dive deeper into those steps/departments aka functional areas. For more on this, check my ‘Pharma💼’ IG highlight

2. Customizing my CV to the specific role, therapeutic area, and company. Using the same exact CV for a med info role that you would for a regulatory role, and also a MSL role just won’t do it. Also, the wording of CV should be aligned to pharma language, using a clinical CV won’t translate well. To help with this, read a lot of different job descriptions about the functional area you’re interested in to pull out key phrases that translate to your existing experience.

3. Stop applying aimlessly to anything, anywhere. This may be a hot take but I could not follow the advice of “just get a job anywhere in pharma to get your foot in” I knew I would have to actually work the job I accepted and wanted to be a job I actually liked and saw growth and stability in. Even if the role isn’t the end goal, that’s okay, but it should be in something you wouldn’t be miserable in. Did this take more time and turning down opportunities? Yes. But was it worth it? 1000% yes ☺️
