Thinking about transitioning to an industry career after your PhD? Wondering how to make your academic skills stand out to employers? This exclusive Q&A session is designed to answer those questions—and more! We’re hosting a candid discussion with two Communication PhD alumni who have successfully made the leap into industry:
- Supreet Mann (PhD, 2021) – Director of Research at Common Sense Media
- Pablo Flores (PhD, 2024) – Research & Product at Science to People
They’ve navigated the transition, landed competitive jobs, and are ready to share their insider insights on what it takes to move from academia into the professional world. We’ll start with a moderated panel to cover key topics like:
- How to translate your research skills for non-academic employers
- What hiring managers actually look for in PhD candidates
- The day-to-day of work in industry
- What they wish they knew during their own job search
Then, we’ll open the floor for your questions—nothing is off-limits! This is a rare opportunity to get honest advice from people who have been in your shoes, so don’t miss it!
