PhD Career Conference: What employers actually value about your degree

"This is a virtual program on Zoom hosted by the Beyond the Professoriate Team. From May 4–8, Beyond the Professoriate will host its annual PhD Career Conference, designed to help PhDs build a strong foundation for a successful nonacademic job search.

If you’re in the final year of your program, a postdoc planning your next steps, 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, PhDs, and postdocs 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 resume
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

The webinar will be held via Zoom webinar and will be recorded. Advanced registration is required. You can register to this event by signing in to Beyond the Professoriate via this link: https://institutions.beyondprof.com/webinar-career-conference-2026/
