What it isn't

This isn't a full CV rewrite or a mock interview. It's a focused diagnostic call to pinpoint what needs fixing and how to fix it. For more in-depth help, see the Supporting Statement Review, CV Review or 1-to-1 Lab Interview Practice.

You'll leave with clear direction and structured next steps.

Who will I be speaking to?

Ruth Odetola, a Senior Biomedical Scientist (Band 7) in NHS, who progressed from an entry-level Band 2 lab role to Band 7 by the age of 30.

How is this different from a mock interview?

This call diagnoses what's holding you back and gives you a plan. A mock interview is a full practice interview with detailed feedback on your answers.

What should I have ready?

Any job adverts you're interested in and your main questions. If you have a CV or supporting statement, you can share it for context. It won't be fully reviewed in this call (see the CV Review or Supporting Statement Review for that).

Is it useful for international graduates?

Yes, for understanding how UK laboratory job applications and interviews work. It doesn't cover visa or immigration advice.

How do I join the call?

You'll receive the call details by email after booking.
