From lab to job market: translating your skills to land a great job
PhDs have marketable skills, but we often fail in translating them appropriately for potential employers. Join the Biomedical Careers Committee and the co-founders of Oystir, a tech startup that helps science PhDs find non-academic jobs, for a workshop on how to position your skills when applying for jobs. Oystir identifies and quantifies PhDs’ skills, then connects them with jobs that require those skills. This session will feature a diagnostic exercise to identify your skills, which ones make you stand out, and the jobs for which they make you best suited.

Date: Wednesday, December 10

Time: 5:30-7pm
Location: BML B131, Brady Auditorium, 310 Cedar Street
