Beyond the Professoriate has launched a new podcast designed to help PhDs find a successful career outside of academia! Job Search the Smart Way provides tips and strategies for embarking on your career with confidence.

In each episode, the team covers career options for PhDs, demystifies the nonacademic job search, and discusses the psychological barriers PhDs encounter in a career transition. The host, Dr. Maren Wood, is Founder of Beyond the Professoriate, a career coach and international keynote speaker.

Here are a couple of topics the podcast has covered recently:

  • It's time to be honest about the academic job market
  • The process for career transition is the same for all academics
  • 3 things to consider if you're unhappy in your nonacademic job
  • Is being unemployed a black mark on your resume?
