From May 4–8, Beyond the Professoriate will host its annual Ph.D. Career Conference, designed to help Ph.D.s build a strong foundation for a successful nonacademic job search.

Whether you’re in the final year of your program or a graduate student exploring your career options, this conference series is for you. Over the course of the week, you’ll learn what it takes to build a meaningful career beyond the professoriate.

This special event is open to doctoral students from all academic disciplines. Each day, we’ll explore a key aspect of the nonacademic job search to help you strategically plan your next steps:

• May 4: What employers actually value about your degree
• May 5: How to write a résumé
• May 6: How to network when you don’t have a network
• May 7: Using LinkedIn in your job search
• May 8: Advice for international students on the job market

Duke graduate students can attend this webinar series for free, including access to replays of events when available, through The Graduate School's subscription to Beyond the Professoriate. Advance registration is required.
