About this listen
Henshaw pulls back the curtain on QC’s real world. Learn the nuts and bolts: testing raw materials (he once caught a counterfeit API with IR spectroscopy), ensuring sterility (swabbing cleanrooms to halt contamination), and logging every step per GMP to prevent recalls. Explore every role—Analyst, Microbiologist, Supervisor, Manager, and specialists—with vivid day-in-the-life insights: troubleshooting a failing assay at midnight, prepping stability data for regulators, or leading a team through a production rush. You’ll gain the skills that matter—HPLC, GC, LIMS, plus soft skills like problem-solving (he’s traced OOS issues to save batches)—and the know-how to shine in any lab setting.
This isn’t just about landing a job; it’s about thriving in QC. Get the education roadmap (a BSc, GMP training, networking tips—Henshaw broke in after persistence paid off), master regulatory musts (ICH Q10, audit prep), and chart your growth from entry-level to leadership, even into QA or R&D. Interviews? Chapter 8 arms you with real questions for every role—“How do you validate an HPLC method?” (he hit top precision, saving costs)—and detailed answers from his own labs, like resolving an OOS with a 3 a.m. fix. Henshaw’s been there: 15 years in QC, mentoring grads to senior roles, facing FDA scrutiny with binders of data that earned praise. His GDP expertise ties it all together—QC’s where safety starts, and he knows the stakes from lab to patient.
In 2025, QC is booming—job growth is climbing (per BLS projections), and demand for skilled pros is high. Henshaw’s guide meets you where you are, offering practical steps: build technical chops, nail compliance, grow strategically. It’s not theory—it’s a career toolkit forged in real labs, with anecdotes (audit wins, late-night saves) that make QC come alive. For anyone serious about a role where every test counts, this book delivers the knowledge, confidence, and edge to succeed. Don’t just aim for a job—aim for impact. Get your copy and step into QC with everything you need to excel!
