'Hey, boosukes! Want to hear about my journey about becoming a cosmetic chemist? You’ve come to the right place! I struggled a lot with very limited resources even though I was in California. Here is what I did so you can emulate these same steps in case you’re still struggling to break into the cosmetic industry as a formulator/cosmetic chemist!

Studied a foreign language (10:40) → kind of helped me with getting my first internship, but my Japanese language ability gave me a huge advantage later on in my career 5. Kept applying for jobs & internships (11:54) → this includes through the Society of Cosmetic Chemists 6. Demonstrated my passion for cosmetic chemistry (12:07)  HOW I SOLD MYSELF IN MY INTERVIEW  1.
