The chemical industry welcomes anyone who can bring relevant experience and valuable ideas from another sector. It is an industry which puts great responsibility on the shoulders of its employees. Apart from the fact that chemical products are vital for so many parts of our daily existence, the industry expects its employees to operate plant that is very expensive and which also has environmental and health and safety implications for the community.
Many other industries - particularly other processing and manufacturing industries - are similar to the chemical industry and will have given their employees useful experience. In non-technical roles such as administration, it is the experience you have gained in that field that counts, not the industry in which the experience was gained. In professional support functions such as training, finance, and marketing, what matters is the kind of organisations for which you worked and the challenges you have had to face.
