Read about our @NatureEcoEvo comment on how to prepare a growing #postdoc workforce in the @nationalpostdoc #POSTDOCket! The nb of postdocs has doubled in 30 years, but faculty positions nearly not changed. We propose 5 key points to better prepare us for a wide range of careers:
1.Align career development with job markets: a survey found that #STEM PhDs lack skills essential for the current #career landscape. #Postdocs need to be encouraged by advisors & departments to invest time in professional development.

2. Sustain wellness & work-life balance: a happy worker is a productive worker! No #postdoc should lack access to healthcare, sick leave or parental leave, we need more transparency about benefits & recognition of #mentalhealth consequences of short term contracts & relocation.
is here, talking about writing impactful resumes! #BeyondProf

Anatomy of a resume: 1. Be reachable, 2. Include a summary highlighting your experience, 3. List your most relevant skills, 4. Professional accomplishments, 5. Education (right at the end!) #BeyondProf
Create and maintain a great social media profile, esp. on LinkedIn! #BeyondProf
Ask about hiring patterns - especially those in your chosen field with years of experience! Longevity is key - can help you identify shifts #BeyondProf
Attend career fairs! Campus career fairs are an awesome resource! #BeyondProf
This is SO COOL - @Cate_Maybrey found this awesome resource to identify contract opportunities and organizations: contractresearchmap.com#BeyondProf

This is @Cate_Maybrey’s fifth time (!!!) presenting at the #BeyondProf conference! She’s one of our favourites 😍
is going to answer ALL of your questions - so don’t be shy! #BeyondProf
Normally @Cate_Maybrey talks about hiring from the employer’s perspective - but today she’s talking about how the ways we work are changing! #BeyondProf
Step 3 - research employers of interest. What do they value in employees? Put those killer research skills to work! #BeyondProf
Lay the groundwork - research past job ads, build connections on LinkedIn for when the next opportunity comes around #BeyondProf
Everyone is going to look you up on LinkedIn. Your profile needs to be aimed at a professional audience! #BeyondProf
You’ve got to reimagine what a career is. Academia sets us up to believe in the life-long career...the market isn’t like that! #BeyondProf
You’re going to move around a lot - sometimes within a company, oftentimes not.
Sage advice from @drmarenw’s partner - you don’t need to figure out what you want to do forever, but think about what you’d like to try next! #beyondprof
Academic job applications can be up to fifty pages long - huge! #BeyondProf
With academic jobs, you find the postings in the same places, the applications are long, and the process is cyclical - the exact opposite of the non-ac market! @drmarenw #BeyondProf
The transition can be hard - we become steeped in academic culture, even though we might not dream of professorship #BeyondProf
