In an industry where legacy and innovation walk hand in hand, landing a job—or making an impact—requires more than just a strong resume. At Trans Ova Genetics, we look for individuals who align with our values and are driven by more than just a paycheck. We’re seeking team members who are passionate about progress, rooted in integrity, and ready to be part of something greater than themselves.
As part of our 2025 vision, Trans Ova Genetics is beginning our journey from good to great. Inspired by Jim Collins’ book, we’re embracing the principles that lead to lasting success. We’re challenging ourselves to think bigger, lead better, and align every part of our organization for meaningful, long-term impact.
Here are five ways to stand out in the agriculture and biotechnology space—and get on the right seat on the right bus, heading in the right direction. Check out the insights that echo our path forward.
In both biotechnology and animal agriculture, complexity is common. But don’t let your resume or professional story become just another data dump. Be clear, direct, and honest about your experiences. Show us how your work has created real outcomes—whether that’s increasing efficiencies, improving animal care, or supporting a producer’s genetic goals.
Trans Ova Value Connection: Integrity. We believe in doing the right thing, every time—even when no one is looking. When you speak with clarity and honesty, you show us you share that value.
Good to Great Insight: Simplicity is powerful. Communicate your “hedgehog concept”—what you’re deeply passionate about, what you can be best at, and how you bring value.
Every role at Trans Ova has a unique contribution to our mission. If you’re pursuing a lab technician role, emphasize your precision, patience, and love for process. If you’re eyeing a role in marketing, logistics, or client service, show us your people skills and your ability to build trust in the ag community.
Trans Ova Value Connection: Client Focus & Excellence. Our clients deserve the best. We look for candidates who show they understand what producers need and how they can serve them better.
Good to Great Insight: First who, then what. We’re looking for the right people on the bus, not just any warm seat. Tailor your resume to show how you’re the right person for that specific seat.
You can be the smartest person in the room, but if you can’t collaborate, problem-solve in high-stress moments, or lead with humility, you won’t thrive in our environment. Soft skills like adaptability, kindness, and communication are crucial—especially in a company built on teamwork.
Trans Ova Value Connection: Teamwork. We’re One Team, working toward One Mission. Show us how you support others, not just how you shine on your own.
Good to Great Insight: Level 5 Leaders—and top contributors—are humble, driven, and focused on results. Soft skills are not soft; they’re foundational.
Don’t just list job duties—show us the outcomes. Did you help increase conception rates? Streamline processes in a breeding program? Train a new group of interns? Use numbers, metrics, or specific stories that demonstrate your value and your impact.
Trans Ova Value Connection: Innovation & Excellence. We measure success not just by effort, but by the impact we make. Bring that mindset into how you tell your story.
Good to Great Insight: Great companies focus on results with discipline. Bring the same focus to how you describe your experiences.
We work with families who are building generational legacies. We invest in technology that improves animal lives and client outcomes. We’re not just changing genetics—we’re changing what’s possible. If you’re fueled by a purpose that aligns with ours, let it show.
Trans Ova Value Connection: Passion. We believe in our work and are deeply committed to helping our clients succeed. If your heart is in it, we want to hear that story.
Good to Great Insight: The best people aren’t motivated by money or prestige—they’re driven by purpose. Your passion might be the greatest differentiator you bring.
At Trans Ova, we’re looking for people who are ready to leave things better than they found them. Whether that’s for a client’s herd, a teammate’s journey, or the future of agriculture—we value people who want to grow something that matters.
