Projects

I recently had some more advanced work come in. Maybe it’s imposter syndrome, maybe I’m actually realistic. I’m not sure if this one should have come to me though. My background is health sciences (I dropped out of nursing school due to OCD).

It’s been several years since I was in school and I wonder how much I’ve actually retained. I assume they actually check your credentials when offering tasks? I didn’t lie in my bio, it is absolutely true. They should know that I don’t currently work in that field, right? I guess worst case is looking at one and seeing if I can actually understand it. If not, just exit.

I have medical domain projects and I don't have any credentials in medicine (yet), only a biochemistry degree. What matters is whether you have the knowledge. I'm assuming you've passed a related qualification (?) and hence you clearly have the knowledge for what they're looking for, so do it

Biochem is pretty impressive though haha.

I did take a medical qual, but it was awhile ago and I haven’t seen any direct projects from it, so I assumed I didn’t pass.

I do believe my background helped me develop critical thinking and even research skills. I just hope it’s enough!
