Pros
Gargi was the first one to take a chance on me and land me an interview with a company. She is adept in science and took an interest in my specialty background. I am excited about the oppurtunities and not being dismissed for not having any generalist experience, despite nearly a decade of professional skill building within a reference laboratory.
