This workshop will prepare you for a non-academic job, even if you're still in graduate school. We'll confront the incorrect belief held by many Ph.D.'s (especially in the arts and humanities) that you don't have any skills for non-academic jobs. In fact, you have loads of skills, you just haven't learned to identify and mobilize them for jobs outside the academy. We'll cover: Why the non-academic job search matters, What's in a name? Post-ac, non-ac, alt-ac, and out-ac, How do I tell my advisor, Obstacles to imagining a non-academic career, Graduate school strategies for bridging academic and non-academic job searches, Identifying your translatable skills, Tips for the non-academic cover letter and resume, Common pitfalls and challenges for the Ph.D. job seeker in the "real world", Job-search strategies that work, and Resources for the job seeker. This workshop is appropriate for early and mid-stage graduate students, ABDs, new Ph.D.'s, and postdocs (and any advisors who wish to learn more about advising for the non-academic career). Includes time for Q and A.
