#selfcare this Sunday. Sometimes it helps to separate self-conceptions of yourself as an "academic," "scholar," "scientist" etc from specific jobs -- you can absolutely be an "intellectual" while working as "XYZ". #withaphd #beyondprof

What is an informational interview? It is pretty much what it sounds like: an opportunity for you, the job seeker, to learn about someone else’s job, organization, or company. It is not—and this is critical—an opportunity for you to ask for a job. #withaphd #beyondprof
