Strategies for Career Success Inside and Outside of the Academy
Join us for a three-part career development workshop series designed to help graduate students move beyond traditional job applications and take a strategic, proactive approach to career advancement. This series begins by unpacking how hiring really works and how to build meaningful professional connections that open doors. We then focus on career exploration, introducing Beyond the Professoriate platform as a key tool to help you identify paths aligned with your skills, interests and values. In the final session, we bring these strategies together to help you create a focused, sustainable career development plan for the summer months and beyond, while crafting compelling application materials that stand out to hiring managers.
Each session includes a 30-minute guided “work-in-place” activity, allowing participants to immediately apply what they’ve learned and make tangible progress in their career development. This series is ideal for PhD students and postdocs exploring careers both within and beyond academia.
Facilitated by Hyun Ja Shin and Jacob Gonzalez (Yale Office of Career Strategy).
