Expanded Job Search Prep Camp for Doctoral Students & Postdocs

May 23, 2022 by Candace Cain Leave a Comment

Presented by Career Services | co-sponsored by the Graduate Student Center

All workshops and panels will be hosted virtually on Zoom

6-10th June, 2022

We invite all doctoral students and postdocs at Penn to a series of virtual workshops and recruiter panel discussions in June to learn about approaches to exploring a diversity of career options beyond the faculty path. This series of programs covers the full spectrum of the job search process, from exploration to negotiation, and can provide you with a solid foundation for your career development next steps – no matter where you are in the process.

All of the virtual workshops will be recorded, and will be posted on the Penn Career Services YouTube channel after the series. The panel discussions will also be virtual, but will not be recorded, and so please try to make room on your schedule for these events if you are interested in the topics.

To view our pre-existing video content specific to graduate students and postdocs, please visit the Penn Career Services YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/PennCareerServices), and make sure to subscribe to get alerts when new content is posted.
