From Dishwashers to Deodorants: Sarah's Scientific Saga

Season 1 · Episode 1

Sunday, December 22, 2024 • Duration 28:23

In this chat, Patrick interviews Sarah, a sales manager at Atelerix, about her unpredictable career journey. Sarah initially pursued a degree in biotechnology but quickly realized academia wasn't her calling.

After struggling to find work during the 2009 financial crisis, she worked as a carer and later as a science coordinator in schools, where she discovered her knack for recruitment. Despite her vow to avoid sales, she spent 12 years in recruitment, finally becoming intrigued by Atelerix's innovative technology.
Through perseverance, she landed her current role, focusing on building relationships and promoting groundbreaking cell preservation products. Along the way, she encountered quirky jobs, like recruiting armpit sniffers and quality assurance testers for condoms. Sarah attributes her success to her ability to connect with people and seize opportunities, even when they come with bizarre stories!
