You've done some exploration and heard about some interesting possibilities as the next step after grad school or your postdoc, but is it enough to convince you that Data Science, Technical Writing, University Administration... is right for you?

Translating Your Credentials: Turning Your CV into a Resume and Writing Effective Cover Letters
Tuesday, April 8, 2014, 11:00; Student Union, Kiva Auditorium

You've done your homework, talked to working professionals in your emergent field, and are ready to begin submitting applications. Learn how present the skills and experience you've developed in grad school and before, in the most clear and compelling manner to your potential future employer.

Closing the Deal: preparing for Interviews and Negotiating the Offer
Tuesday, April 8, 2014, 1:00; Student Union, Kiva Auditorium

Many graduate students have never had to interview for a job in their life, and feel totally unprepared to overcome this final, critical barrier in the job search process. Learn how to talk about yourself, your work, how you can contribute to the success of the organization smart enough to hire you, and how to prepare effectively for the stress and anxiety inherent in the interview process.

Now that you're ready to ace the interview, learn how to negotiate effectively on your own behalf, once the offer is made.

These workshops are presented by Andrew Green, Ph.D. counselor at the UC Berkeley Career Center. Dr. Green has given invited presentations at major scientific meetings and research universities across the country, and appeared in the Chronicle of Higher Education and NatureJobs.
