Berkeley Lab (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory) Work Values

Daily Duties at Berkeley Lab (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory):

Had full editorial responsibility for editing and producing the newspaper formerly published by the laboratory. Developed an ambitious new editorial vision for the publication, which became an award-winning, content-rich and visually appealing paper under my leadership. Wrote articles and collaborated with a large team of professionals from across the laboratory. As a member of the laboratory’s public affairs department, participated in the production, planning, and integration of a wide range of communication tools —from magazines to electronic news bulletins, press releases, and events. Promoted effective internal and external communication.

What they like about Berkeley Lab (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory):

Working in an organization that is technologically advanced, creative, and innovative is critical in your assessment of hiring companies. Less important to you are stability of the organization, the length of time an organization has been in business, and the business' plans for the future. You prefer a fast-moving company that will take risks to achieve its goals and objectives. The length of time the company has been in business is irrelevant. Maintaining status quo is unnecessary. You thrive on change, uncertainty and the upside of potential business risks, especially those associated with innovation. Stability for the long haul is not nearly as important as is working in an atmosphere that is charged with a sense of urgency and constant change.
