Find out how to get a job outside academia, even if you aren’t yet sure whether you really want one. Sue will share tips and strategies from her experience as an executive recruiter for higher education. You’ll learn what employers really think about your resumé, how to stand out in the crowd, and the critical first step that most graduate students overlook when hunting for non-academic jobs.
