We talk a lot on this podcast about how myths and assumptions that are widely dispersed in academia keep PhDs from making a career transition. In this episode, Maren unpacks three of the most common misconceptions about professional work that keep PhDs back in their job search: negative assumptions about businesses; a belief that the PhD credential will open doors; not recognizing that professional careers can be just as specialized and difficult as academic careers.
Using the skills that you've developed during graduate school, and tapping in to your growing professional network, you can discover ways to overcome these misconceptions and launch a great career.
