How to Find a Job Outside of Academia, Even if You Aren’t Sure That You Want One, Wednesday, April 7, 4-5:30, Room 200, College Hall
Susan Basalla, co-author of So What Are You Going to Do With That?: Finding Careers Outside Academia with Maggie Debelius in 2001. The book was based on hundreds of interviews with graduate students and faculty members and was released in an updated and revised edition by University of Chicago Press in March 2007.
Susan Basalla says, “We’re facing one of the worst academic job markets in history. Why not keep your options open by exploring careers outside academia while you wait?”
Learn about:
- alternatives to adjuncting
- how to avoid the job-hunting mistakes that grad students most frequently make
- learn from real-life examples and practical step-by-step advice for M.A’s and Ph.D.’s seeking fulfilling work outside academia.
The first 100 Penn PhD students and current postdocs to attend on April 7 will receive a copy of So What Are You Going to Do With That? at no charge.
