As a PhD, you’ve gained valuable skills. You’ve learned to thrive in ambiguity, handle complexity, and approach problems analytically. But when you apply to industry roles, none of this matters if your resume doesn’t translate your value into industry language.
If you’ve ever thought:
“Why am I getting no responses?”
“I’ve made 20 revisions, what am I missing?”
“How do I know what a hiring manager values?”
Join our live Resume Review workshop, in collaboration with Alma.me. This will be a real-time breakdown of a resume from our community, reviewed by someone who has been on the other side of the hiring table for 20+ years, Angela Priest. Angela is the co-founder of Alma.me and former hiring manager with two decades of experience recruiting industry talents across startups, big companies, tech, insurance.
During this session, you will learn:
- What hiring managers instantly notice and what they look for
- Why your resume may not be getting responses
- How PhDs accidentally hide their strongest skills
- How to communicate impact (not tasks!) in a way industry immediately understands
If you’re a PhD considering an industry transition and want clarity on what’s holding your resume back from getting interviews, you’ll get it here.
