Upcoming Beyond platform events and negotiation workshop
June 18th (12-1pm ET): Researching the Academic Job Market in Your Field
If you’re exploring career options, one factor to consider is the availability of academic jobs in your discipline and your competitiveness for those positions.
There is often limited public information available to doctoral students about the academic job market for their specific discipline and program. This lesson will help you research the academic job market in your field and figure out what the market looks like for YOU as a candidate.
While this research can be a challenging exercise for many PhDs, it’s an important step in helping you make an informed career decision about staying in academia or exploring non-academic career opportunities.
This webinar is designed for doctoral students, PhDs, and postdocs from all academic disciplines who are wondering:
● How do I determine what faculty opportunities are available in my discipline or field of study?
● How do I determine my competitiveness in the field?
● If I decide to pursue an academic position, how do I best prepare?
June 23 - 26 (2 - 2:30pm ET): How Hiring Works in North America
Welcome to graduate school! Are you an incoming master’s student ready to start your program and plan for the upcoming year? Are you already thinking about internships and how to stand out in a competitive job market?
If so, this boot camp series with Beyond Graduate School is for you.
“How Hiring Works in North America” is a virtual webinar series designed to help you prepare for internships and job applications during your master’s. You will learn essential job search strategies, tools, and techniques so that you can identify and pursue career opportunities in North America.
It can take 6 – 9 months to land a job or internship — now is the time to start preparing.
Join Beyond Graduate School for a week of webinars, each designed to show master’s students the components of a successful job search and how to stand out as a job candidate.
