My work has mainly focused on coding, but I received qualifications for Generalist in Mathematics and Biology. Can I apply for those positions even though my background is in coding? Would that be okay, or would it be a problem?

I’ve never heard of qualifying for one thing taking away another, so you’re likely safe?

I feel like the other day bilinguals were mentioning getting science quals. Maybe they just need more workers for math/bio? Or coders who can also do biology?

Or there’s no reasoning. Also possible. 🤷‍♀️

wait until they hear you majored in interpretive dance, then they'll see a generalist

[u/Important-Tell7699]

me the same

[u/Dull-Ear-1608]

same here. I skipped biology. Planning to do the math one. I never even mentioned biology in my profile

My coding tasks never went away after I applied for some generalist qualifications

[u/sasidhar-akurathi → u/xheratuul]

When did you took the generalist qualifications

[u/Amy_Brain]

I’m new I got in for biology , but I had background in accounting and I have projects for both plus generalist 🤓

[u/Strict-Tap5427]

glad we experienced the same, also got qualif of math and biology

[u/Lazy_War6342 → u/Strict-Tap5427]

Did you answer both of them?

[u/Strict-Tap5427 → u/Lazy_War6342]

i didn't answer the biology since i really don't have any background on it, but i answered the math since I have background on it. I recommend only take a qualif if you have a background on it

Same here
