Identifying and Translating Your Research Skills to Impress Your Future Employer
Are your research skills and experience valuable beyond academia? The answer is ‘yes’! It’s just a matter of packaging them in a format that employers beyond academia will understand. In this in-person session, we will provide tools for identifying your professional skills and converting your research experience into strong applications.

This session will focus on applications for positions beyond academia only.
