Abstract
The world is an odd place right now but we all have a precious gift in the form of a veterinary passport, which can take us to a myriad of career destinations from clinics to government, research to industry and so much in between. There are many routes to purposeful and fulfilling careers, and every career option enables you to be a “real” vet. However, it can be challenging to pick the right path. This session covers top tips to keep you on track throughout your career, including: understanding what makes you tick; finding and making career opportunities for yourself; harnessing your networks; gaining knowledge of the types of roles out there that could be a fit for you in the future; channelling career awareness over career comparison - the grass isn’t always greener!; embracing the squiggly career - ALL of us will have ups and downs, it’s about finding the lessons in the journey. You are all empathetic, scientific problem-solving leaders who care deeply about the flora, fauna, and people that make up this planet. The world needs you right now, it’s time to step into your potential.
