Prepare for a Job Search

Your first non-academic job search is unlike any prior event in your career… and chances are, you’re bringing in some misconceptions based on your time in academia. We’ll talk about how to overcome those obstacles and how to build a network that will help you find a job.

Identify Potential Jobs

There are a lot of different types of jobs out there. We’ll discuss how toidentify potential jobs even when they are outside your past experience, and how to evaluate which jobs are a good fit for you and your skills.
