Overqualified or Underqualified? Which Is It and What to Do About It: A Webinar for Ph.D. Students
Speaker
Beyond the Professoriate
Ph.D.s are often told by employers that they are overqualified for positions. But they're also told that they don't have enough experience. So, which is it?
Join the Beyond the Professoriate team for this webinar on how to break down the overqualified vs. underqualified conundrum. Learn concrete strategies for overcoming this obstacle in your job search and how to communicate your value to employers.
This webinar is uniquely designed for doctoral students, Ph.D.s, and postdocs from all academic disciplines who are wondering
- How should I describe my skills and experience to nonacademic employers?
- How do I communicate the value I bring to nonacademic positions?
- How can I prove I’m a qualified candidate when I do not have direct industry experience?
Duke graduate students can attend this webinar for free, including access to replays of events when available, through The Graduate School's subscription to Beyond the Professoriate. Advance registration is required.
