Beyond the Professoriate: Going Beyond Subject Matter

When starting a nonacademic job search, many doctoral students and postdocs ask: “What can I do with my PhD?” But that is often not the most useful place to start. A more productive question is: “What skills have I developed, and where can I apply them?”

In this webinar, you will learn how to reflect on your graduate training, identify the transferable skills you’ve developed, and communicate your value clearly to nonacademic employers — in your job documents and in interviews.

This webinar is designed for doctoral students, PhDs, and postdocs from all academic disciplines who are wondering:

How do I identify the skills I’ve developed in my graduate training?
What do nonacademic employers look for in a candidate — and how does my background align?
How do I communicate my value to employers when my expertise is highly specialized?

Please note that you need to register (it's free) on the Beyond website (link below) using your UARK credentials in order to receive the Zoom link.
