In this webinar, L. Maren Wood, PhD (Founder of Beyond the Professoriate) will help you craft a compelling career transition story that you can use on your LinkedIn profile, when networking, in cover letters, and in job interviews.

After attending this webinar, you will be able to:

  • Identify your reasons for leaving academia.
  • Describe the components of an effective PhD career transition story.
  • Write a draft of your PhD career transition story.
  • Identify resources in Aurora that can help you.
