Beyond the Professoriate Webinar Event

A quick glance at LinkedIn job postings shows hundreds of applicants competing for the same roles every day. Today’s job market is highly competitive, often saturated, and hiring has slowed across nearly all sectors. It’s one of the most challenging environments job seekers have faced in years.

So how can you stand out as a PhD in this crowded market?

Join the Beyond Prof team for this webinar on how PhDs can stand out in a competitive job market — and key factors to consider as you explore your options. International candidates may have additional personal and legal considerations, for instance, and all PhDs should take into account their personal and financial needs when planning their next steps.

This webinar is designed for doctoral students, PhDs, and postdocs from all academic disciplines who are wondering:

  • How can I stand out in competitive job market if I have limited industry experience?
  • What catches an employers attention in a crowded job market?
  • How do I navigate additional factors in my job search—such as visas, geographic constraints, or funding considerations?
