00:07 [Yoan Yevide; CDO-RFT Program Office Intern, Pfizer.] My name is Yoan Yevide. I currently work at Pfizer, and I'm a graduate of the LifeSci NYC program. I interned at BioBus and Pfizer as part of the LifeSci Internship Program. My experience at both BioBus and Pfizer allowed me to own both my cover letter and resume skills, and on top of that I was also able to get a professional network, which is essential in our industry.

00:33 If there's anything I'll tell someone applying for the program, it's to not be afraid to go in, not knowing what you want to do and apply to anything on there. I personally did not know what I wanted to do, and I got the opportunity to try out a few things, and that eventually helped me decide what I want to do now that I'm graduating.

00:57 It's also important to go out there and network with people just to find out what they do, and what you can potentially do. Being a science major is not easy, you want to be able to know all the options out there. It's not just the lab if that's not your thing. [Music.]
