Wednesday, November 4, 2026 · 12:00 PM – 12:45 PM

One of the most common struggles PhDs face early in their job search is identifying nonacademic career options that feel like a genuine fit. With a highly specialized background, it can be difficult to know where to begin — or how to evaluate whether a career path aligns with individual skills, values, and goals. But career exploration does not have to be an overwhelming process. With the right framework, job searchers can identify career pathways that make sense for their background and take concrete steps toward their job search. Join the Beyond Prof team for this webinar to learn how to begin identifying and researching nonacademic career options that align with specific background and professional goals. This webinar is designed for doctoral students, PhDs, and postdocs from all academic disciplines who are wondering: Why is it so difficult to identify career options that align with my background and expertise?How do I research career options that fit my skills, values, and personal goals?Once I have identified career options, where do I begin my job search?REGISTER by logging in to your Beyond the Prof account Accounts are free and can be created by selecting University of Georgia from the dropdown list of institutions and logging in with your UGA SSO information.
