In order to overcome these problems, graduates must adapt their skill set and include more soft skills, such as time management and problem solving, in keeping the with the \u2018total talent\u2019 skill set that is so vital to success.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to a change in mind set that the market is demanding, there is also an overall shortage of people who are able to adapt to the more\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicalprofessionals.co.uk\/news\/what-next-for-life-science-graduates\/\">\u201chard to fill\u201d vacancies<\/a>. Due to this, the MAC has recommended that a number of key life science research professions, including biological scientists and biochemists, be among those added to the list of critical jobs.
