How to Build and Grow Your Network for Non-Academic Jobs

How to Build and Grow Your Network for Non-Academic Jobs


Event date: 3/18/2026 12:00 PM - 12:45 PM iCal Export

Beyond the Professoriate Webinar Event

One of the most common questions we receive from PhDs exploring non-academic career options is: how do I build and grow my network beyond academia?

Growing and maintaining a network takes time, but it is especially important for PhDs, many of whom have limited connections with professionals in other career fields. A network is one of the most critical parts of your job search, and can make a significant different in how long a job search lasts. Staying connected to, and engaging with, professionals in your career field of interest means that you’ll be top-of-mind when new job opportunities arise. This is your chance to stand out in a crowded and highly competitive job market.

Join Beyond Prof for this webinar designed for doctoral students, PhDs, and postdocs from all academic disciplines who are wondering:

  • How do I maintain relationships with people I connect / network with?
  • How can I stay connected with people virtually?
  • How can I continue to expand my network while job searching?
