Stephanie Vose Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 Hi Dr. Ordonez - you can begin with a brief introduction of who you are and your research. Then you can begin discussing your personal experiences with anxiety in academia and your transition to industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego Ordonez Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Then, I was contacted from a friend that was doing his PhD in Canada (Edmonton). His professor wanted to do an interview with me.

Stephanie Vose Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 Does anyone have any questions for Dr. Ordonez or have any personal experiences with anxiety and pressure to be successful in academia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego Ordonez Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 This professor was happy with my resume. I had a medical degree, and a master in Neuroscience that was focused on the role of ApoE on autophagia.

Diego Ordonez Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 To start. Since start the doctoral program there was something that I did not enjoyed.

Diego Ordonez Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 The transition was really difficult because I have to deal with a different culture. Canadians are polite, but they are not warm.

Diego Ordonez Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I withdraw from the program and I started a Bachelor in Management Technology. I just finished last week. My idea is combine my skills in management, research and health care to work in the industry. To work in the industry, employers need a workforce with managerial skills that I did not have Marangelie Criado Marrero and Stephanie Vose 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One core pilar for the industry is leadership. You have interact with people in a team, where collaboration is essential. For instance a manager in research fluent communication is critical.
