1. Understand the Landscape

Before diving into applications, take the time to understand the bioinformatics job market. Common roles include:

• Bioinformatics Analyst/Scientist: Focused on data analysis and interpretation.
• Computational Biologist: Combines computational techniques with biological research.
• Data Scientist in Genomics: Applies machine learning and statistical models to genomic data.
• Software Developer in Bioinformatics: Designs and develops tools and pipelines for biological research.

Familiarize yourself with the key industries hiring bioinformaticians, such as academia, biotech, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and agriculture.

2. Build a Strong Foundation

Bioinformatics demands a diverse skill set. Ensure you have a solid foundation in the following areas:

• Programming Skills: Proficiency in Python, R, or Perl is often required. Familiarity with tools like Bash scripting and version control systems (e.g., Git) is a plus.
• Statistics and Data Analysis: Knowledge of statistical methods, machine learning, and data visualization is crucial.
• Biological Knowledge: Understanding genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics will help you communicate effectively with biologists.
• Specialized Tools and Databases: Be comfortable using tools like BLAST, Bowtie, and databases like NCBI and Ensembl.

3. Create a Winning Resume and Portfolio

Highlight your technical skills, biological knowledge, and relevant experience. Tips for a standout application:

• Tailor your resume to each job, emphasizing skills mentioned in the job description.
• Showcase your experience with real-world datasets by linking to your GitHub profile or online portfolio.
• Include details of any publications, presentations, or significant projects.

4. Network Actively

Networking is often the key to discovering opportunities. Here’s how to build connections:

• Attend Conferences and Workshops: Events like ISMB or specialized bioinformatics workshops are great for meeting professionals.
• Engage Online: Join LinkedIn groups, participate in bioinformatics forums, and follow relevant hashtags on Twitter.
• Leverage Alumni Networks: Connect with alumni from your university who are working in the field.

5. Gain Relevant Experience

Experience is a major factor for hiring managers. Ways to enhance your profile include:

• Internships: Seek out internships in research labs or biotech companies.
• Collaborations: Volunteer to work on projects with professors or peers.
• Open Source Contributions: Participate in bioinformatics software development on platforms like GitHub.

6. Prepare for Interviews

Bioinformatics interviews often combine technical and behavioral questions. Prepare by:

• Reviewing Key Concepts: Refresh your knowledge of algorithms, sequence analysis, and statistical methods.
• Practicing Coding: Be ready to solve coding challenges or discuss code snippets.
• Understanding the Organization: Research their recent projects, publications, or products.
• Preparing Questions: Demonstrate interest by asking about their tools, workflows, or team structure.

7. Stay Resilient and Persistent

Job hunting can be a long process, but persistence pays off. Tips to keep moving forward:

• Keep improving your skills by taking online courses or certifications.
• Stay updated with advancements in bioinformatics by following journals and blogs.
• Apply to multiple positions and don’t get discouraged by rejections. Each application is a learning experience.

Closing Thoughts

Landing a bioinformatics job requires a mix of technical expertise, networking, and resilience. By understanding the market, showcasing your skills effectively, and continuously learning, you’ll be well on your way to a rewarding career in this dynamic field. Remember, the key to cracking the code is perseverance—stay curious, stay determined, and success will follow.

Today, refreshing my old memories I decided to blog about the basic knowledge of biochemistry and computational proteomics skills, but after I found several article on internet saying exactly what I had wanted to say I thought I might as well just redirect BOL's blog readers there instead:

Here is the list of website and videos links which provide a good resource for you basic chemistry need:

http://tecreativ.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/funny-shortcut-remember-periodic-table.html

This blog have some specific hindi word to remember entire periodic table. I really like

Group 14 (C Si Ge Sn Pb) -> Sentence “Chemistry Sir Gives Sanki Problems”

Sanki is a hindi word which mean crazy :P

I found this link useful as well http://www.wikihow.com/Memorise-the-Periodic-Table

The eagle genomics group provide an element of bioinformatics in periodic tables. Yes you got it, this is not periodic table rather bioinformatics tools with periodicals

http://elements.eaglegenomics.com/

You can also try this video links, which provide you an overview with tricks on periodic tables:

For drug design educational material, software, tools, databses, viewer, file format and many more stuff at one place http://www.allfordrugs.com/drug-design/ I highly recommend you all computational drug designer to bookmark this page for future studies as well.

I just remember one of my mini project in which I use my flash knowledge (flash .. oh ya flash) to explain amino acids in interactive and user friendly manner. I can’t provide It right now, but promise you to provide a link in near future. I hope that you will enjoy my flashy creative skills :).

Moreover, I found some of very interesting tricks to remember all amino acids chemical formulae on youtube at

Key points for computer added drug designers?
1. A shortage of biochemistry skills means that you absolutely nowhere in understanding the key concept and do research.
2. Keep handy with complex mathematical formula, before merely running tools or software.
3. Dig it better and deeper guys .. design it.
