"That's right." is what you want an employer to say during an interview or negotiation. It's better than "yes". This is part of my interview with negotiation expert Chris Voss. It simply comes down to get into the mindset of the hiring manager and saying out loud what they want. "You're looking for someone who cares more about being part of the company's overall mission here than just a paycheck." Or, "Maybe you've hired people in the past who didn't work out or left after a few years, and you want to make sure you hire someone this time who's here for the long term." Or, "Maybe you've had concerns about hiring a PhD who's overqualified but also lacks experience, and you want to make sure a PhD you hire for this role can do the job properly." Interviewing and negotiating is more than just talking about your skills. It's about strategically showing the employer that you're committed to the company's mission longterm, understand what they're looking for in the role at hand, and are right cultural fit. #jobsearch #careerdevelopment #careers #resumes #negotiating #gethired #jobtips #phd #phds #postdoc #postdocs #phdlife #phdchat #phdjobs #phdcareers #phdstudents #phdstudent #cheekyscientist

As career practitioners we are required to keep up-to-date with developments in our field and to support our clients or students with career education, career development and career counselling interventions that reflect the integration of career development theory, research and practice. However, once qualified, many career practitioners lose full access to their university library database and resources, which makes it challenging to access the research, latest and theoretical developments to integrate into their practice. The authors of Cognitive Information Processing career theory are making a difference here by making their latest text available to all as a free e-book entitled Cognitive Information Processing: Career Theory, Research, and Practice. This edited book aims to improve the integration of cognitive information processing (CIP) theory, research, and practice, leading to more cost-effective career interventions that help persons to make informed and careful career decisions over a lifetime. The book can be accessed via PDF and HTML (using the Manifold system) from https://lnkd.in/gacahcax.

Help me understand. I have an open position. Stated requirements include a bachelor's degree and 2-5 years of relevant experience. I'm getting multiple applications from candidates with PhDs who do not address this seeming mismatch in their materials. One CV is packed full of publications and research... but most of it is focused on their chosen scientific field, and not on student engagement/persistence/retention, which is what I'm hiring for. Also very little about collaboration, which is a key focus of the role. I completely support folks who want to make a career pivot. Especially into higher education, because the diversity of perspective is essential to our adaptation and survival. But they gotta make me understand WHY they want to do this, and that they understand that a position in higher education with my stated minimum requirements is not going to pay the big bucks. When applying for staff positions, (former) faculty need to at least show a glimmer of understanding about the differences between those realms. Like, have they ever worked with a staff member at their institution other than the department admin? Hint: cover letters are a great place to include that sort of context.

Great that kind Academics like Catherine Hughes here are providing invaluable resources to help Career Practitioners stay up-to-date with career theory and practice information with this free e-book!

One of my PhD customers came to me with multiple jobs she was excited to apply for, but she felt her resume wasn't quite where it needed to be. When I read her resume, it read like any other job applicant: "Quick to grasp new, unfamiliar biology topics by leveraging strong analytical skills and research expertise." It showed none of her warmth and positive energy. I advised her to use language that spoke to those strengths. The adjusted language not only helped her application stand out, but helped her land the position and conditions she wanted: "Passionate about simplifying technical sciences for the general public to dispel misinformation, empower informed choices, and spark curiosity in all ages." Helping someone find their value is life changing. For you & them. This is why I help PhDs make the academia to industry leap. __________________________________ Are you a PhD struggling with how to get your resume to stand out and get more interviews? I can help.
