Build Your Professional Brand

You’ll also learn to speak the language of hiring managers: the problems you solve, not just the techniques you know.

PhD Transferable Skills – and How to Sell Them
For PhD researchers who know they have value, but struggle to communicate it.
Most PhD researchers underestimate what they know – it feels “just normal.” But the skills built during a doctorate are exactly what employers are looking for.
The challenge is translating those skills into language that lands. This workshop guides participants through a structured process to identify their key transferable skills, find the stories that bring them to life, and communicate them in a way that helps employers understand the difference they can make.
