COURSEMODULES:
"I've been applying for months, but I'm not getting any interviews."
This is something we hear from PhDs almost daily. Our first two course modules address how you can build an understanding of your targeted career path to feed the content and orientation of your resume:
MODULE 1 PREPARE.ME
Increase your number of interviews by aligning your job search with industry careers where you have the highest probability of getting hired based on your transferrable skills, interests, and values.
MODULE 2 APPLY.ME
Begin building a professional network, online presence, and create a resume that stands out from other applicants to get interviews faster.
"I'm interviewing but not getting any job offers."
Another common refrain that comes up in our discussions with PhDs. Our third module helps you understand how to prepare for the interview, so you can engage your interviewers during the interview:
MODULE 3 INTERVIEW.ME
Learn how to effectively plan and prepare for your interview, so that you come across as confident, yet curious, and engaging. This module helps PhDs understand how to build relationships with recruiting and hiring managers to get more job offers.
"I got an offer, but I'm not sure how to respond. I don't want to hurt my chances of finalizing the offer."
It's common for PhDs to feel nervous about negotiating. Module 4 provides a detailed understanding of what is and isn't negotiable and how to effectively approach the negotiation:
MODULE 4 HIRE.ME
Understand the common components of a job offer, which ones are more or less negotiable, and how and what to negotiate to maximize your salary.
"I want to make a good impression. What should I do on my first day?"
The first day jitters are common for anyone starting a new job, but the important point is to be proactive. Our fifth module teaches you the common elements of industry onboarding processes, so you know what to expect and can approach your first day with confidence:
MODULE 5 ONBOARD.ME
Learn what to expect and how to start off on the right foot on your first day to ace any probationary periods, so that you keep the job.
