University Of Reading - Biopharma Skills Consortium Industrial placements range from being a core element of the educational programme to those where it is the student’s responsibility to get relevant industrial experience, identify opportunities and evaluate their learning.

Also known in the industry as "cultural fit," likability is a reason many candidates don't make the final cut—the interviewers either didn't like them or didn't believe they would mesh well with current employees.
