Out with the old and in with the new! The time has come for my time as a graduate (and hence also my graduate blogging days) to end.
The Graduate Programme has been a fantastic experience the past couple of years. With three very different rotations, I have had a steep learning curve and gained in-depth understanding of Novo Nordisk and our industry. I have gotten a deep respect for our business, what we do, and for whom we do it – our patients. Last but most certainly not least, I have also gained some of my closest friends through the other graduates.
It’s time for the “real world”, and as many graduates have accepted great jobs throughout the organisation, I am excited to have started my full time position in our Haemophilia R&D unit as Communications Manager.
If you’re a Master student and you are considering applying, I cannot stress enough that you should do it! Applying for the graduate programme was probably one of the better ideas I have ever gotten – I couldn’t imagine a better way to transition from university to business life, and I cannot think of another job that would give me so many opportunities, experiences and leanings as this programme has done.
While I will no longer be on the blog, you are still welcome to contact me with any questions. I leave you here with some memories…
- The best graduate year... The Business Process, Global Marketing and European Business Graduates
- On a learning journey in Istanbul, getting to know the Turkish market by driving with sales reps, and learning about business in the Middle East by meeting colleagues from Iran and Jordan.
- At the foot of the Ngong Hills, graduate team at the house of Karen Blixen outside Nairobi
- In New Caledonia, Australian marketing and sales team celebrate the launch of a new device...
- Out for a dinner with the graduates, enjoying some Italian food.
- All graduates from all programmes head to Snekkersten in Denmark to take an intensive, three day project management course
- At the Career Fair in Budapest with graduate and Talent Attraction team
- At the house of Reuben Magoko, head of Nyeri County Diabetes Support Group, Kenya
- At my old school, CBS, participating at the Career Fair

Lise
