APEC ?Studies, R&D? Guide

Catherine Bouget, translation by Cynthia Schoch

The APEC has just published the " Studies and R&D Management Careers Data Base.” 20 extremely complete fact sheets to find out all you need to know about a sector that is of particular interest to PhDs.

For each career, the fact sheets detail the main activities, required skills and qualities, pay scale, training, main recruiters... A particularly valuable piece of information to ponder one’s career choice carefully and plan out an application strategy.

All the more so since each fact sheet is rounded out with a testimonial of a professional who sheds light on what the job involves and makes the description particularly tangible.

The APEC, the French management employment service, also gives the various titles that can be used to identify one and the same career at the end of each fact sheet. The indication is highly useful to get the most out of using key words in the search engines on employment sites and simply to see what the market has to offer.

Don’t hesitate to expand your search by looking at all the topics and subtopics related to the professions you’re interested in. It’s sure to give you even more ideas.
