About This Webinar
From May 4–8, Beyond the Professoriate will host its annual PhD Career Conference, designed to help PhDs build a strong foundation for a successful nonacademic job search.
If you’re in the final year of your program, a postdoc planning your next steps, or a graduate student exploring your career options, this conference series is for you. Over the course of the week, you’ll learn what it takes to build a meaningful career beyond the professoriate.
This special event is open to doctoral students, PhDs, and postdocs from all academic disciplines. Each day, we’ll explore a key aspect of the nonacademic job search to help you strategically plan your next steps:
- May 4: What employers actually value about your degree
- May 5: How to write a resume
- May 6: How to network when you don’t have a network
- May 7: Using LinkedIn in your job search
- May 8: Advice for international students on the job market
The webinar will be held via Zoom and will be recorded. Advanced registration is required.
