    Hello, I currently work as a technologist for a fragrance house, and my manager is giving me a chance to formulate personal care products for our lab.  The problem is that sometimes, formulating takes a backseat to my primary job, and before I know it, a month has passed.  I graduated w/ a MS in Cosmetic Science, but I still need to expand my knowledge on the chemistry on the raw materials.  Anyone have any advice?  Should I continue this “trial” track on formulating at work, or find a chemist position somewhere else?  A lot of places are looking for more experienced formulators, and it can be pretty hard to find a place willing to take a chance on an entry level formulator.

    Thanks!!!
