Restart your PhD career
Too many PhD qualified people struggle to find the right job.
It is a shameful fact that many PhD’s never obtain employment commensurate with their qualification’s and expertise. The cumulative waste to the individual, society and our economy, in general, is incalculable. After borrowing or investing hundreds of thousands of dollars and devoting years of their lives to study the final outcome is nothing.
"IF YOU VALUE YOUR CAREER, YOU WILL VALUE OUR SERVICE"
The real beneficiaries are the tertiary institutions that encourage people to enter into long term commitments will little thought to the participant’s well-being or ultimate career path.
Nobody in their right mind would sign a contract to build a house without a complex set of plans being developed. However, advanced tertiary education is often undertaken only on a “hope of a future benefit”. No firm plans, no realistic opportunities all driven by a “fee hungry” university system.
People in this situation or similar need intensive assistance to construct a career path that leverages their education and expertise.
A lot of PhD professionals tend to think, “I don’t need help with my job search, I can land a job on my own.” But the truth is, job search today is SO different from what people think it is.
It’s not applying to every job you think you’re qualified for and hope you get a call. It’s not waiting on recruiters and hiring managers to reach out to you for opportunities. And, it’s not settling for the first offer you get.
The days of having a passive job search strategy are over. Now, it’s time for you to take control of your PhD job search!
ACMA works with PhD graduates throughout Australia/NZ to deliver quality career outcomes (not driving taxis).
