slrpatty Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) I graduated from a top public university in 2014 and I've been working in the biotech industry (laboratory work) for about 1.5 years. I spent 6 months as a contractor at the first biotech company and then switched to a full time gig at the other company which I am currently still there. Both companies are very big. Every academia lab pretty much uses the products they make. I have about 2 years of research experience working in an academia lab as an undergrad. I'm getting a letter from my PI as an undergraduate. I'm considering getting the other two letters from a scientist at my first company and a scientist at the second company I worked at. How is this looked upon? Edited November 4, 2015 by slrpatty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rising_star Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Having two academic letters is generally preferred. Do the scientists at the biotech company have PhDs? If so, and if they can attest to your research experience, then you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
