-
You’ve translated your skills for a non-academic CV or resume (as they say in the USA) but you feel like you’re being deceptive in mangling “post-doc” into a different job title (like Research Leader) so that industry will understand what you do.
​
-
You just don’t feel the industry CV represents you, since you’ve deleted 9 solid-gold pages of publications, service, conference presentations etc.
​
-
The non-academic CV someone helped you to prepare sounds too good to be true.
​
-
You’ve even gotten to THE interview, dressed up, looked in the mirror and thought…
“Well, I LOOK the job but do I FEEL the job?”
This does not have to be your reality. We don't want you to feel stuck! We've spent decades helping PhDs to leave academia and build successful, profitable careers with accelerated progression to senior roles!
​
Who is this for?
-
Academics who are committed to leaving academia, but need help in communicating their assets effectively and confidently. [If you're not sure you're quite committed to leaving, might I suggest Life After Academia?]
​
-
Academics who want to surround themselves with others who radiate badass energy, so they can own their power and their voice - this is ultimate empowerment!
​
-
Academics who are ready to ditch the imposter syndrome, people pleasing, and perfectionism with the help of mindset coaching and hypnotherapy.
​
-
Those who know the power of the non-academic CV/resume as ambassador, but lack confidence and knowledge of how to create it and OWN IT!
-
Academics who need help in understanding their transferable skills and which of their strengths will be marketable outside of academia... most important, how to communicate that!
-
Those who have a draft of a CV/resume but know they can't enter an interview room with the unwavering knowledge that they will ACE the interview!
​
We got you!! We've been there, we've helped hundreds just like you to get senior-level jobs, and we've had close to 40 years of experience in academia! We have the t-shirt, folks!
​
We’ve got THE solution for you: it's not simply translating your skills for a new industry! You have to believe the part too!
