Job opportunities for marketing and human biology majors?

guys, what are the job opportunities for a person having marketing (market research) and human biology majors and also knowing 3-4 languages (including French and English)?

Job opportunities for marketing and human biology majors?
It depends on finding the opportunity. You have to be experienced in the one intimately, then the other field.





Ideally, you're gearing yourself up for sales, but you have to make sure you have good people skills and can empathize with scientists at their level (which is usually pretty high, don't think lowest common demoninator as taught in your marketing classes).





If you're still in school, look at job requirements now for a sales position and look to getting a laboratory job for a minimum of 24 months. The lab job will give the experience and understanding of what a scientist's life is daily. Then look to switch gears to a sales position after your lab experience - when they ask why you're switching gears - make sure they understand this is your goal in life.





As for incorporating other languages, look for a Canadian position which wants to sell to the US (there are quite a few of these) - this is the only instance where you can incorporate your language skills. Don't anticipate this as a major factor since most of science is done in English anyway - it's not closed-minded, it's true.





After your lab then sales position for some time, you can begin to consider other positions like advertising or marketing.





Finally, if you're considering Pharmaceutical Sales Rep, they typically find you - you don't pick them. Pharm reps go through a different and highly groomed training program to push exactly as they want. Typically, science majors need not apply - they don't want to confuse their customers with your background.
