Create and maintain a great social media profile, esp. on LinkedIn! #BeyondProf
Ask about hiring patterns - especially those in your chosen field with years of experience! Longevity is key - can help you identify shifts #BeyondProf
Attend career fairs! Campus career fairs are an awesome resource! #BeyondProf
Remember: all of these videos are replayable until mid-June! #BeyondProf
: read lots, and read critically. Make sure you are investigating the target audience! Don’t always take it as gospel #BeyondProf
Example: we don’t all *actually* need to learn to code. Being critical can be cathartic! #BeyondProf
overwhelmingly, millennial as actually hate the gig economy! #BeyondProf
Another great tip - write down your five year plan, but in pencil. Things are too unstable to NOT plan for the future, but the future is in flux! #BeyondProf

You’re going to move around a lot - sometimes within a company, oftentimes not.
Sage advice from @drmarenw’s partner - you don’t need to figure out what you want to do forever, but think about what you’d like to try next! #beyondprof
Academic job applications can be up to fifty pages long - huge! #BeyondProf
With academic jobs, you find the postings in the same places, the applications are long, and the process is cyclical - the exact opposite of the non-ac market! @drmarenw#BeyondProf
The transition can be hard - we become steeped in academic culture, even though we might not dream of professorship #BeyondProf
