The Reasons Why Employers Reject PhDs For Industry Jobs (& 10 Things You Can Do to Avoid It)

$19.99

The first reason PhDs get rejected, according to a former hiring manager at Genentech, was defensiveness. Defensiveness about a lack of industry understanding. Defensiveness in response to a behavioral question like “why are you leaving academia”. Defensiveness on a resume, as evidenced by a reliance on technical skills with no mention of business acumen skills or other transferable skills. Are you coming across as defensive? The second reason PhDs get rejected is passivity. (This surprised me.) Passivity in terms of not being committed to the job you’re applying for. Passivity in terms of answering the question “would you be willing to work in another position here?” incorrectly. Passivity in terms of not even being enthusiastic when interviewing. If you have questions about how you can avoid these common traps that make employers reject you,  then you need to join us for a new webinar on Thursday, July 23rd at 3pm ET (7pm UTC +0, or 3am UTC +8). In this webinar, titled “The Reasons Why Employers Reject PhDs For Industry Jobs (& 10 Things You Can Do to Avoid It)” we will delve into actions you can take to avoid these rejection-inducing sticking points.
