Land Your First Non-Academic Job: A PhD’s Guide to Career Success
Discover how to leverage your academic expertise to build a rewarding career outside academia. Whether it’s industry, the public sector, non-profits, or entrepreneurship, this course will guide you every step of the way.
When I left academia, I felt lost. I had dedicated years to research, teaching, and publishing, yet I struggled to see how my skills fit into the “real world.”
Leaving my academic career was the hardest decision I ever made. It took years of trial and error to figure out how to translate my expertise into a six-figure career, one that not only fulfilled my values but also allowed me to thrive financially and personally.
However, I still remember how lost I felt when I decided that I wanted to transition out of academia. Feeling lost, I started looking for resources that would tackle my exact need, but I couldn’t find any.
Something that I could have accomplished within a few weeks took me years to figure out. Further, I found it hard to deal with the emotions that came with changing a career that meant my whole identity at the time, to have no one in my circles who could relate to what I was going through.
This is why I created this course. I know what it feels like to be stuck, unsure of how to take the next step. I want to show you that another career path is possible. This isn’t a compromise; life as a PhD outside of academia can be as and even more fulfilling.
Let me help you turn your hard-earned academic achievements into a new adventure. You don’t have to start from scratch; I’ll teach you how!
