The academic market is dire. Even professors on the tenure track face wage stagnation. Plenty of businesses need smart people with critical, interpretive research skills – so long as you translate your expertise into terms understood by hiring managers.
That's how I help. In addition to speaking at university career centers and graduate departments, I've worked with 41 academics – from recent PhD recipients to full professors – find jobs at companies such as Deloitte, PwC, Salesforce, and Google. We'll transform your research and teaching experience into valuable resources for the business world.
Universities justify low pay for instructors and professors in large part because too many of us don't know our value beyond academia. The post-academic market is opaque. And it's not obvious how Anthropology, History, Literature, Philosophy, Sociology, and other disciplines might fit in corporate jobs. After a decade in academia, I've worked in four companies that recognize the Humanities and Social Sciences' unique contribtuions.
A doctorate distinguishes you. As PhD holders, we already have deep knowledge and competences. The challenge is to adapt of skillset to solve business problems.
