Graduate education and postdoctoral training give PhDs the opportunity to develop deep expertise in a specific subject area. But for most PhDs who pursue nonacademic careers, what connects their graduate training to their professional life is not their subject matter — it is the skills, values, and interests they developed along the way. Instead of asking “What can I do with my PhD?” – the better question is "What skills have I developed, and where can I apply them?”

One of the most common struggles PhDs face in their job search is identifying nonacademic career options that feel like a genuine fit. With a specialized background, it can be difficult to know where to begin or how to evaluate whether a career path aligns with your skills, values, and goals. Career exploration does not have to be an overwhelming process. With the right framework, you can identify career pathways that make sense for your background and take concrete steps toward your job search.
Generative AI tools have made it easy for job seekers to produce nearly identical resumes and application materials. As a result, recruiters are now receiving hundreds of generic resumes that look and sound the same. With so many identical resumes, recruiters are increasingly ignoring AI-written submissions, and the odds of your resume being selected are slim. So, how do you stand out in an AI-driven job market? By taking a different approach. Join this webinar to learn how to stand out.
Networking is one of the most overlooked skills in a PhD job search. It is often seen as awkward, transactional, or evidence of "nepotism." But in practice, networking is how academics AND professionals build community. It is through community that academics and professionals find mentors, learn from others in their field, and stay informed about opportunities and areas of growth. The earlier you start building your network, the more it will work in your favor when opportunities arise.
As an international master's student, you may be planning to look for work in Canada or the United States after graduation. Job searching as an international student is more complex than it is for domestic students. There are visa requirements, work permit timelines, and immigration considerations that you will need to understand and plan for well before you begin applying. Join Beyond Graduate School for this webinar designed specifically for international master's students.
