MAGIC IN THE TEMPEST

Roles and Responsibilities

Nhi said that biochemist have many roles such as researchers, dentists or pharmacies. Nhi was interested in biochemistry major because she could make many researches by making experiments. After that, she will write a report to show what she discovered during the experiments. During the interview, Nhi told me that biochemist could work inside or outside, and it depends on what kind of the environment people want to work. If they want to work inside, they can work in the lab or office. Otherwise, they can also work outside by going out anywhere to discover many things in the world. In general, her jobs are very open, so it is flexible for her. According “What is a Biochemist” article, a biochemistry will require a lot of skills such as making experiments and researching information. Furthermore, based on what they can find during their research, they need to write some academic reports and present them to others such as their partners and customers. There are many responsibilities that biochemist have to have to do their jobs. They have to manage their workplace such as laboratory. If they work in a group, they should cooperate and manage the quality of their work. Nhi stated that she wants to work in a group because they can help each other. Moreover, they also can learn from each other. In Nhi’s opinion, the challenges for the jobs are to understand the concepts and take the experiments exactly. Nhi told me that I should take many experience as much as I can before getting real job. According to the interview, Nhi used to be worry about her job because she thought that those jobs in this field had not increased yet. However, she still tried her best and believed that they will be developed in there future.

Communication Skills

Nhi uses many materials to communicate with others in her jobs such as presentation, conversation, readings or writings. She told that using academic readings and writings are necessary devices to communicate with others. She has to write many reports for her experiments. Moreover, she also needs to explain her experiments clearly to others. According to Nhi, her audience should be colleagues, professors or even students, so she has to everything in a formal way. Furthermore, everything she wants to delivery should be clearly and easily to understand. When others read her reports, they should be able to analyze whatever she writes in the reports. In Nhi’s opinion, the most important communication skill is to be patient, and helpful. She should be willing to do anything for her customers. Her customers should be patients, or they could be someone who wants to get the information about biochemistry. Furthermore, she can also work at hospital, so she should take care her patients carefully. Moreover, Nhi told me that she has to share her knowledge with her customers or patients. She is happy when she works with them. The reason is that they will trust whatever she said because she has much knowledge about it.

Conclusion

After the interview, I did not change my mind about my major. Moreover, it helped me confirm that Biochemistry majors will improve in the future. Nhi gave me many recommendations for this career, and she also showed that how this major will be needed in the future. The careers in this major are not developed for now. However, there are many careers will require this major in the future. Therefore, my expectations have been strengthened day by day. She states that many opportunities will come to me after graduating. However, I should focus on my study and get a bachelor degree in biochemistry major. The knowledge I got in school in school is very important. Besides that, she also mentions that I should get some experience before getting a job such as taking an internship. Finally, I hope I can finish my degree as soon as possible, so I can find the job that could suitable with me.
