This month’s webinar will focus on the job market for MA and PhD alumni in industry, government and the non-profit sector. Our presenter, Dr. Sian Beilock, will outline the resources offered to current UChicago graduate students through UChicagoGRAD, a University-wide office committed to ensuring that students and postdocs have the skills they need to become the next generation of leaders in all career sectors. Dr. Beilock will also discuss how alumni can leverage the skills they gained as UChicago graduate students to best position themselves in the job market, regardless of industry. After attending this webinar, students will receive relevant advice that they will later be able to use when looking for their first job. Thanks to this, they will have no problem preparing a resume, letter of recommendation, and interview format writing.
