Series Introduction:

This is a workshop series for those who are currently in the process of applying for non-academic positions and for those considering pursuing the non-academic job market in the future. Each module is an independent workshop, but it is highly recommended to attend all the modules to maximally benefit from the series. Participants will hone their skills for writing compelling résumés (or hybrid CVs) and cover letters, discuss (and practice) job interviews, contextualize their academic research toward industry positions, and learn comprehensively about the process of searching for a job. The series is meant to complement last year’s series on the academic job search.

Module 6: Further challenges in the job search process is the final module in the series.

The first five modules included work on resumes and cover letters, an assessment of transferable skills from academic science to other career pathways, and practice job interviews.

If you do plan to attend Module 6, please respond by the end of Wednesday, January 29.
