Approaching graduation? Tips for managing the uncertainty that comes with the job search

Are you approaching graduation or recently graduated? Are you considering stepping out of academia, but don’t know how? You are not alone! In this talk, you’ll hear the experience of UB alum Dr. Melissa M. Moore, who made the transition out of academia into industry. You will also have the chance to ask questions and get answers to help you make the many decisions that happen along this path.

Dr. Melissa M. Moore graduated from UB with a PhD in Communication and a lot of uncertainty. She now is happily working at YouGov, Inc. as a Project Manager, where she collaborates with a large range of clients (academic, industry, government, non-profit) to facilitate survey-based research. In this webinar, Dr. Moore will discuss her own career path, tips for managing the uncertainty that comes with the job search, and practical points for translating PhD skills into jobs outside academia.

This webinar is offered through the Versatile PhD.
