Boston College Work Values

Daily Duties at Boston College :

As a graduate student in the Biology Department at Boston College, my research was widely focused on cell division and more specifically towards the kinetochore and the mechanism by which the chromosomes are anchored to the spindle pole in the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. During my graduate career, I was trained on a broad variety of molecular and cell biology techniques and developed an expertise in cell culture, molecular cloning and fluorescence microscopy. My dissertation research has been published in Cellular Microbiology and Molecular Biology of the Cell and presented at several scientific conferences.

What they like about Boston College :

Working for a company with an emphasis on social values and helping society is a clear and important priority for you - a critical factor in who you choose to work for. In contrast to other factors, you place an organization's reputation for fairness and concern for the community above most other aspects of the company. As you search for a new job opportunity, it is usually possible to find out if the company is involved in the community and/or if it is addressing problems and issues in society. Pay special attention to non-profit organizations and those specifically involved in social action. Moreover, speaking with current and former employees should enlighten you to perceptions of the fairness of the company's leaders and the treatment of employees.
