From Dishwashers to Deodorants: Sarah's Scientific Saga

Sarah, a Sales Manager at Atelerix, shares her unconventional career journey in a podcast. Initially pursuing biotechnology with aspirations in medicine, she shifted paths after experiencing lab work with Procter & Gamble, which involved testing dishwashing detergents – a job so monotonous she avoided dishwashers for years.

After struggling post-graduation amid the 2009 financial crisis, she worked as a carer, then as a teacher, organizing work placements for kids, drawing parallels to her later work in recruitment that she found more suited to her knack for building relationships. Finally, Sarah discovered Atelerix's innovative cell preservation technology and made a bold career move to become their sales manager.

The episode humorously recounts her experiences, including recruiting for unique roles like armpit sniffers and condom quality testers, underlining the unexpected turns one's career can take.
