The difference is in how you approach making your career change. You could jump in blindly and hope to stumble on the right job, hope that your new position is a good fit for you and that you find a position you can finally call your career, but hope isn’t a plan. Starting your career change process with the Career Possibilities Panel & Speed Networking series put on by WEST and sponsored by Gilead Sciences can be. This series features panels with specialized STEM experiences. Each event gives panelists the opportunity to share about their backgrounds, experiences, and current jobs, as well as giving attendees the opportunity to network with the panelists and other STEM professionals.  [Read More](https://info.westorg.org/blog/career-possibilities-speed-networking-series-gives-attendees-more-than-hope-in-their-career-change-plans) 4 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.westorg.org/blog/career-possibilities-speed-networking-series-gives-attendees-more-than-hope-in-their-career-change-plans#comments-listing) Topics: [Events](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/events), [Career](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/career), [Communication](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/communication), [Panel](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/panel), [Network](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/network), [Networking](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/networking), [Upcoming Events](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/upcoming-events), [Career Development](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/career-development), [Career Possibilities](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/career-possibilities), [Speed Networking](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/speed-networking), [Advice](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/advice), [#WESTevent](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/westevent), [#WESTorg](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/westorg), [Experience](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/experience) ## [Mind Over Matter](https://info.westorg.org/blog/mind-over-matter) Posted by [Courtney Cyron](https://info.westorg.org/blog/author/courtney-cyron) on Oct 31, 2022 2:59:12 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://info.westorg.org/hubfs/Feature%20Photo%20(1).jpg) ](https://info.westorg.org/blog/mind-over-matter) There’s a stigma associated with being an introvert. People say introverts are more often shy, soft-spoken, and stay to themselves; “they” say introverts are not good public speakers, team leaders, or marketers. Sure, people say these things, but how true are they really? If the true definition of an introvert is simply that they are re-energized by spending quiet time with themselves, then what do any of those characteristics or skills have to do with being introverted?

As more and more women considered dropping back, or out of the workforce in the past two years, I began to wonder what strategies and behaviors could be used to keep them in their professional careers. There is a large body of work dedicated to uncovering research behind women in the workforce and their reasons for leaving yet not much has been written about the support systems women have that enable their rise in the workforce to be successful. I decided to interview a couple of women in engineering, science, and technology to learn a little bit more about the workforce policies that helped them rise and the kinds of people that have lifted, mentored, or supported them along their journey including both professionally and personally.  [Read More](https://info.westorg.org/blog/how-women-rise-and-thrive-in-the-workplace-insights-about-support-networks) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.westorg.org/blog/how-women-rise-and-thrive-in-the-workplace-insights-about-support-networks#comments-listing) Topics: [Gender Balance, STEM](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/gender-balance-stem), [Gender Balance](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/gender-balance), [Career](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/career), [Interview](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/interview), [Work Life Balance](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/work-life-balance), [Success](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/success), [Network](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/network), [Inspire](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/inspire), [Mom](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/mom), [Leader](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/leader), [Women in STEM](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/women-in-stem), [Working Remotely](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/working-remotely), [Professional](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/professional), [Relationships](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/relationships), [Resources](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/resources), [Solutions](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/solutions), [Connect](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/connect), [Career Path](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/career-path), [Values](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/values), [Support](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/support), [Impact](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/impact), [Career Possibilities](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/career-possibilities), [Empowerment](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/empowerment), [New Opportunities](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/new-opportunities), [Learn](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/learn), [Inclusion](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/inclusion), [Diversity](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/diversity), [#WESTorg](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/westorg), [Parenting](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/parenting), [Equity](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/equity), [STEM Women](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/stem-women), [Female Representation STEM](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/female-representation-stem), [Hiring Women in STEM](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/hiring-women-in-stem), [Experience](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/experience), [Ally](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/ally), [Allyship](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/allyship), [Strategies](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/strategies), [Reflect, Reimagine, Emerge Stronger](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/reflect-reimagine-emerge-stronger) ## [Career Possibilities: Clinical, Regulatory, Patient Outcomes, Analytical Development](https://info.westorg.org/blog/career-possibilities-clinical-regulatory-patient-outcomes-analytical-development) Posted by [Nina Arnone](https://info.westorg.org/blog/author/nina-arnone) on Feb 14, 2022 2:23:00 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://info.westorg.org/hubfs/2022-02-16%20Flyer%202x1.png) ](https://info.westorg.org/blog/career-possibilities-clinical-regulatory-patient-outcomes-analytical-development) On Wednesday, February 16, WEST will be continuing our Career Possibilities Panel and Speed Networking series.

We are bringing back the same panelists on 4/7 to talk about where they are now. This promises to be an excellent discussion about career progression, with each participant giving us a retrospective view of their career path choices, including comments on “what I wish I knew.” [Relaunching careers](https://www.westorg.org/2021-04-07-career-relaunching) in scientific research and biomedical engineering, moderated by Carol Fishman Cohen, will tell stories of women who took career breaks and achieved success. It is possible for women to return to work in scientific research, biotechnology, and engineering and thrive in these fields. This webinar is an opportunity for people to listen to inspirational stories from women and learn from their experiences.
