  • Framing your GTA Experience

    GTA experiences are hard to quantify in terms of usable skills for resumes.  In this information session, two CDC ADs will help you understand how to translate the skills you gained from your GTA experiences into usable remarks for your resume.  You will learn how to translate student communication, lab skills, and more into a resume ready for applications.

  • Postdoc palooza

    Postdocs can be confusing and difficult to navigate.  We will talk with current postdocs about how they found their positions and what steps they took to get hired as a postdoc.  Once you are in, what are the important things to remember and how do you navigate higher ed from the postdoc perspective?  Lastly, how to make the most of a postdoc experience.

  • Academic Odyssey for Grad Students

    What are the steps for Ph.D.’s after graduation?  Some will stay in academia and others will choose to leave the hallowed halls of OSU.  We will talk with employers that frequently hire Ph.D.’s from OSU or other higher ed institutions and see what they are looking for in new employees.  We will also get the perspective of current faculty members and how they have navigated staying in academia and what that has meant for their careers.
