Are you a Ph.D. student seeking non-tenure-track or industry jobs? Do you struggle to explain your research to non-experts? Are you worried that employers won’t see the value of your doctoral experiences? This workshop is for you! Join University Career Center Ph.D. Career Coach Tim Cavnar in an in-depth discussion of how to talk outside of your field. We’ll address these concerns, develop specific strategies, and get some much-needed practice. Ph.D. students of all levels and academic backgrounds are welcome!
