Beyond the Professoriate

Most PhDs and postdocs are familiar with academic hiring: writing CVs and cover letters, preparing writing samples, and teaching portfolios. But what do nonacademic job searches look like? Hiring managers for professional careers have different criteria and strategies for identifying the best candidate for a position. To be successful in your nonacademic job search, it’s important that you understand hiring from a manager’s perspective.

Join the Beyond the Professoriate team to learn how to effectively navigate a nonacademic hiring process. After attending this webinar, you’ll be able to:

• Outline the nonacademic hiring process.
• Explain how employers design job descriptions.
• Describe the strategies employers use to find and select candidates for interviews.
• Identify resources in the Beyond Prof training platform that can help you in your job search.

The webinar will be held via Zoom webinar here in the platform and will be recorded. Advanced registration is required. (You may need to click on Live Webinars from the main menu once you're signed in through the Pitt subscription.)
