[Grad-postdoc-assn] A few articles about work and planning

[Valerie Sloan]

Good morning,

I hope that you are taking care of yourselves during this strange time.

I recommend checking in regularly with the "Chronicle for Higher Education"
and "Inside Higher Ed" for articles with career advice.  Currently there
are a few articles aimed at PhDs and postdocs.

This article has advice on looking around at jobs in the private sector. For
would-be academics, now is the time to get serious about Plan B.

For example, go ahead and create a LinkedIn profile and reshape your CV
into a resume.


A while back, I shared this article on 4 Tips for Applying for Jobs Outside
of Academe.

I thought it was good.


This article is helpful as it talks about how to manage working from home
in a time of a pandemic. I found it quite validating.
