3-Step Job Referral Methodology, 4-Part Informational Interview Strategy And 99 Most Asked Industry Interview Questions

$19.99

Unfortunately, many PhDs struggle with networking. The reason for this is that networking is such a broad term that is rarely defined into actionable steps, let alone scientific steps.  By their definition, referrals (getting a contact to agree to have their name listed as a referral in a cover letter, having said contact agree to pass along a resume to the hiring manager or other decision maker, and/or the contact introducing the job candidate directly to a decision maker or other senior employee at the company) are the key to refreshing your job search so you can get hired. Now imagine you are invited to an industry interview tomorrow, do you really think you could ace it? 88% of PhDs are unprepared for industry interviews (Science).  Most PhDs foolishly wait to prepare for phone screens, video interviews, and site visits until right before one of these events occurs. This is a huge problem because by then, it’s too late. The lack of preparation shows during the interview and can get you blacklisted – by both the company that interviewed you and other companies within the same sector. Seriously, companies can’t afford to invest the time and resources needed to give someone who failed an interview a second chance, especially in the current economy.  And you can’t afford to miss your chance to transition into industry and escape academia. The hiring freezes, layoffs, and budget cuts are clear indicators of what you know in your gut: academia is only getting worse.  YOU MUST LEARN TO SUCCESSFULLY NETWORK AND PASS ANY INTERVIEW TYPE NOW, NOT LATER. To learn the right way to prepare for industry interviews and help you overcome your networking struggles, join us for a webinar titled “3-Step Job Referral Methodology, 4-Part Informational Interview Strategy & 99 Most Asked Industry Interview Questions,” you’ll learn everything you need to know to avoid losing out a job offer after making it all the way to the final stages of your job search.

15 Industry Resume Guidelines PhDs Must Follow To Avoid Rejection In The New Economy

How To Answer The Most Asked Industry Interview Questions In 2021

Do you know what happens if you fail a job interview? You get blacklisted – by the company that interviewed you as well as several companies within the sector you are applying.

If you’re not taking your LinkedIn profile seriously, you should delete it.  If you haven’t completed your LinkedIn profile 100%, you should delete it.  ...otherwise, your LinkedIn profile will HURT your chances of getting hired.

Complete Answers To The 99 Most Asked Industry Interview Questions (& How To Ace A Video Panel Interview)

$19.99

If a recruiter or employer asks if you are available tomorrow for a virtual interview, you have to say “yes.” You can’t pass up an opportunity to advance toward a job offer. Your prospects in academia are worsening by the day, and coronavirus has already cost 400 million jobs and counting (CNBC). But are you actually ready to interview? Most PhDs foolishly wait to prepare for the interview phase of their job search until they are asked to interview. This is a huge mistake. If you blow an interview by acting awkward, defensive, or arrogant – even if you don’t mean to – you can end up blacklisted by several companies within the sector you are applying. Companies don’t want to waste their time and money giving someone who has already bombed an interview a second chance, especially during a recession when resources are scarce.  If a company offers you an interview, they want to hire you.  Don’t lose out on a job offer after making it to this stage of the hiring process. Instead, start learning how to ace your interviews now by joining us for a new webinar titled “Complete Answers To The 99 Most Asked Industry Interview Questions (& How To Ace A Video Panel Interview),” you will be armed with data on the industry interview process obtained from PhDs who have already transitioned.

8 Salary Negotiation Traps That PhDs Fall Into (& How To Avoid Them In 2021)

$19.99

Learning to negotiate your salary is a non-negotiable, especially if you’re a PhD. Why? Two reasons...  First, PhDs who don’t negotiate get paid $17,000 less on average a year than PhDs who do negotiate (Newmarket Media). If you’ve never worked in industry or have little industry experience, this number jumps to $21,000 per year!

3-Step Job Referral Methodology & 4-Part Informational Interview Strategy That Gets PhDs Hired

$19.99

Quantitative and qualitative analyses in peer-reviewed publications like the Academy of Management show that networking is the key to success in industry. Those who excel at networking and getting job referrals get into senior level positions up to 40% more often than those who do not network. Further, job candidates who network throughout their career end up with salaries up to 30% more than their non-networking counterparts. Unfortunately, many PhDs struggle with networking. The reason for this is that networking is such a broad term that is rarely defined into actionable, let alone scientific steps. By their definition, referrals (getting a contact to agree to have their name listed as a referral in a cover letter, having said contact agree to pass along a resume to the hiring manager or other decision maker, and/or the contact introducing the job candidate directly to a decision maker or other senior employee at the company) are the key to refreshing your job search so you can get hired. To help you overcome your networking struggles, we put together this webinar titled “3-Step Job Referral Methodology & 4-Part Informational Interview Strategy That Gets PhDs Hired.” Featuring a 3-step networking and job referral methodology known as the "Straight Lined Referral Method" and a 4-level Informational Interview process proven to get PhDs hired. These methods have been shown to result in statistically significant increases in job referrals for top technical careers.
