Chemistry and Jobs









Nowdays chemistry is a science, which is a part of our daily life because everything around us is made up of very tiny particles that only with chemistry people can analyze them and understand their structure. But how easy is for a chemist to find a job?


Furtunatelly there are numerous chemistry fields as health,industry,environment, education. So a student of chemistry has a lot of job opportunities. But what actually are the requirements for a successful candidate?


To begin with, if a candidate want to have success in the career world, he/she must have a very good university education and high or at least medium grades. A summary of the criteria, which a candidate should have for a job are the quality of writing, flexibility and range, adaptability and ability to learn. Moreover he/she should have critical and creative intelligence, thinking skills, well rounded education and he/she can communicate with his/her cooperatives. But these skills, are skills that every candidate should have, not only a chemist.


A chemist can work in the research field, as a researcher. A typical example of this job is the Institute of Crete. If a candidate want to work there, he/she must have learning skills and know how to work in a laboratory because a lot of accidents happens either accidentally or self injure accicent. Moreover, two skills which the candidate should have is the creativity intelligence and thinking.


An another field of chemistry where a chemist can work work is education. In this field the candidate have to know how to communicate because this skill is the most important. There are a lot of teachers with great knowledge but they do not know how to "give" these knowledge to the students. Furthermore creativity and leadership are necessary in the field of education.


Health is a very important field of chemistry because it can actually help the society. There are a lot or researches Insitute, where a cemist is looking for solutions in healths problems like cancer. For instance at 1964 Barnett Rosenberg find the first anti-cancer medicine, which its name is cisplatin. The candidates, who want to work in health's field, should have quick thinking, rounded education, learning skills, creativity.


Finally there are two chemistry fields, industry and environment, which are connected. Nowdays people often observe a lot of enviromental problems, which are created by factories. The result is the pollution of the air, the sea , the earth. A candidate who want to find a job either in chemistry or in an environmental programm must have thinking and interpersonal skills, creative intelligence. They have to find sollutions in this problem and finally stop it.


To conclude, the job opportunitites for a chemist are numerous. Every chemistry field have similar and different skills. But as it can be observed the requirements for a successful candidate are he ability to learn, creativity, know how to think and communicate. There is no secret of success in the career world.
