“As I start my second week working in GSK, my first impressions of the company are that the people are very friendly, approachable, and eager for development. There are also many systems set in place to allow for open communication up the leadership team.”
1. "Speak to as many people as possible – whether you are joining GSK as a student or new starter, reach out to all kinds of people within and outside of your team. There is a wide range of roles and responsibilities in GSK that you would not have heard of and you may be interested in pursuing in the future! Everyone is very friendly to speak!"
2. "Plan your to-do list for the next day on the evening before – it is easy to fall into the trap of working on whatever comes up on the day but you’ll find yourself working like a headless chicken. Having a plan made from the previous day ensures that you have a priority set out so you can approach tasks with a clearer mind."
3. "Ask to visit manufacturing sites or R&D pilot plants – with UK being one of GSK’s primary manufacturing sites, it is a rare opportunity for one to see the machines in action in real life. Visiting a site in person makes learning more memorable."
