    Why You Should Skip The Postdoc, TA, Adjunct, etc. Jul 01, 2022
    Show notes

    Join Isaiah as he explores why you should leave academia right after you finish your PhD instead of wasting your time going down the postdoc route

    Here’s a quick rundown of this week’s episode…

    • First, Isaiah discusses why academia fools PhDs into thinking that they need more academic experience to be successful
    • Next, Isaiah explains why it’s in your best interest to start planning your transition now
    • Finally, Isaiah list the reasons why you should look for an industry position as soon as possible

    From This Week’s Show…

    The Postdoc Route Is A Dead End

    Academia tells you that you need more academic experience to be successful in industry, whether that be through a postdoc, extended TA position, adjunct post, and so on.

    Not only is this a huge misnomer, but it’s a giant disservice to your career. Many PhDs stay in academia after graduating thinking “Once I get this experience, then (and only then) will I be qualified for an industry position” – this mindset often results in PhDs spending years chasing one low paying overworked academic position after another just to get that “one more piece of experience”.

    In a recent survey, nearly half of the postdocs polled reported being in a postdoc position for over three years with one third saying they had already completed two or three postdocs.

    Why would you want to remain in a system that tells you, even after years of experience, that your talents are not worthy of a well-paid permanent position?

    When Is The Right Time To Leave Academia

    If you want to land a job in industry, there’s no need to wait in this holding pattern. Start planning your transition now.

    The longer you stay in academia, the more you hurt your chances of landing your ideal job.

    Many companies prefer hiring PhDs straight out of grad school. They see fresh graduates as more open-minded, eager to learn, and more flexible.

    The Reasons Why You Should Skip The Postdoc

    In industry, on-the-job training is far more valuable than any amount of additional time spent in academia. Even if you’ve done an experiment, lesson plan or procedure a hundred times, companies have their own standard operating procedures that they will need to train you on.

    Academia will always move slower, be more stagnant, and have more biases than industry. Many of you can attest to how slowly academic work moves and how difficult it is to see your progress.

    The academic system is stuck in its ways, and it resists change. Industry, on the other hand, must keep up with the latest innovations and market trends, so it can’t afford to move at this snail-like pace.

    In industry, your efforts will produce measurable results. You’ll receive the feedback required to grow. And perhaps most importantly, your hard work will be recognized.

    How To Turn A Networking Conversation Into A Referral Jun 24, 2022
    Show notes

    Join Isaiah as he reviews the levels of professional intimacy and the question you should ask to turn a networking conversation into a referral

    Here’s a quick rundown of this week’s episode…

    • First, Isaiah presents the first level of professional intimacy, topical intimacy
    • Next, Isaiah presents the second and third levels of professional intimacy, challenge and how-to intimacy
    • Finally, Isaiah presents the fourth and final level of professional intimacy, advice intimacy

    From This Week’s Show…

    Topical Intimacy

    To turn a networking conversation into a referral, you have to gently guide the conversation to deeper and deeper levels of professional intimacy. This is the only way to get someone you barely know to spend any effort on you whatsoever, let alone trust you enough to recommend you to their company.

    The first level of professional intimacy when talking about networking and informational interviews is termed “Topical Intimacy.”

    The best question to ask a networking contact to get them to this level of intimacy after they reply to your initial connection request is: “What are you currently working on that you’re excited about?”

    People enjoy talking about positive, topical experiences, especially when they’re related to their favorite thing in the world: them and their life. No matter who you are talking to, they will enjoy talking about what excites them.

    Challenge And How-To Intimacy

    The second level of professional intimacy is termed “Challenge Intimacy.” The perfect question to ask a networking contact to get them to this level of intimacy is: “What are some of the challenges associated with your role?”

    While this question is an extension of the first question, it will allow you to go a bit deeper into the other person’s professional life and get to know both their personality and mindset better.

    The third level of professional intimacy is termed “How-To Intimacy.” The ideal question to ask at this level is: “How did you get hired into your role in the first place?”

    Pivoting to this third level of intimacy is crucial as it will change the context of the conversation from general life and career questions and answers to job search questions and answers.

    Advice Intimacy

    The fourth and final level of professional intimacy is termed “Advice Intimacy.” The best question to ask here is: “Which roles are about to open up in your company’s pipeline?”

    In this final level of professional intimacy, you very subtly shift the conversation to you by asking for advice—advice that will ideally lead to a referral by prompting the other person to ask how they can help you.

    Since you showed interest in them at the beginning of your connection, they are much more likely to show interest in you, and since you behaved professionally and appropriately, they will know you are a serious candidate who is deserving of a referral.

    The 3 Stages Of Getting A Job Referral Jun 22, 2022
    Show notes

    Join Isaiah as he discusses the importance of moving past initial connections to build professional relationships that lead to job referrals

    Here’s a quick rundown of this week’s episode…

    • First, Isaiah explains why many PhDs fail to get job referrals by not knowing how to build professional relationships
    • Next, Isaiah presents the process you should follow to turn a connection into a job referral
    • Finally, Isaiah reminds you that it’s your responsibility to invest in your professional relationships if you want to be successful

    From This Week’s Show…

    How PhDs Fail To Build Professional Relationships

    We have all either initiated or been a part of networking conversations that went something like this: How are you? I’m great, how are you? I’m great too …you? (Awkward silence).

    Circular conversations that get stuck at the same level of professional intimacy are exactly what you want to avoid.

    The goal of your online networking efforts is to build a professional relationship where the other party feels comfortable enough with you to refer you for a job at their company, or otherwise help you further your efforts to get hired.

    It is a multiple-step process where every problem is followed by another problem.

    Why You Should Follow A Process To Ensure A Job Referral

    Having a process and understanding each step of the networking process ahead of time will help you anticipate future problems and avoid roadblocks in your online conversations.

    To avoid awkwardness and transform your connections into job referrals, you need to understand the process of building professional intimacy and how to go from one level to the next.

    This is why I recommend a three-stage job search referral strategy. The three stages of the strategy are (1) getting a reply, (2) adding value, and (3) informational interviewing.

    Of course, before you get a reply, you have to connect with someone properly. Each networking message you send should add value in new and different ways. Once you get a response, however, you also want to carry the conversation forward into a deeper level of professional intimacy.

    The Key To Turning A Networking Conversation Into A Job Referral

    The key is realizing that YOU are responsible for carrying the conversation forward because you are the one who reached out to connect. If you fail to carry the conversation forward by asking questions that prompt mildly more intimate, yet professional responses in a graduated way, then your online rapport will break and you will ruin your chances of getting a referral.

    Understand that the other party wants to talk about deeper issues, but slowly. They want to dive deeper into more interesting and meaningful topics, but in a natural way that doesn’t make them feel uncomfortable.

    If you carry the conversation forward correctly, you can move the other person into an informational interview so naturally that they won’t even realize, or care, that it’s happening.

    Employees Are Incentivized To Refer You Jun 21, 2022
    Show notes

    Join Isaiah as he discusses why you will never get a job referral by networking the old fashioned way and what you should do instead

    Here’s a quick rundown of this week’s episode…

    • First, Isaiah explains that getting referrals is easier than you think, but you need to put in the effort to build strong professional relationships
    • Next, Isaiah discloses what effective networking looks like
    • Finally, Isaiah gives some pointers on how to ensure a job referral

    From This Week’s Show…

    Why You Will Never Get A Referral Networking The Old Fashioned Way

    It’s easier than you might imagine to be referred for a position if you have networked confidently and appropriately because industry employees are often incentivized to refer you, with the average employee referral bonus being between $2,000 – 3,000 dollars.

    Still, these employees will not go out of their way to help you. You have to make it easy for them. And you can’t just stop at meeting them. You have to build a professional relationship.

    This is something I learned the hard way. I wasted the first three years of my graduate school career networking the old fashioned way. I would go to internal seminars with the same people over and over again, arriving just in time and leaving right after it was over.

    I would collect business cards and university cards at my poster and think “I’m networking! I’m networking! It’s happening! I’ve been discovered!” only to go home after the conference and never have anyone who took my card or gave me a card reach out to me.

    What Is Effective Networking

    Networking is what happens when you follow up with them to build a professional relationship.

    Most PhDs never network. They meet someone at a conference, seminar or poster section in person, or they press the blue connect button on LinkedIn, and that’s it.

    Understand – when you’re a job candidate searching for a job, it’s your responsibility to turn networking into connecting. There is no substitute for networking and your career will never reach its full potential if you don’t network.

    It’s been proven time and time again, even in academia, that networking is the key to funding and success.

    How To Get A Job Referral

    We live in a relationship-driven world and love it or hate it, your relationships and access to decision-makers will dictate your industry success and there’s plenty of data to back this up.

    If you want a PhD job in industry, you must network by building professional relationships that go beyond just connecting. You must also learn how to end your networking efforts with requests for a job referral.

    A job referral is the result of building a strong professional relationship and can be achieved consistently by following a proven networking process.

    In terms of sequence, you will connect with an industry professional, network to build a professional relationship and then ask for and receive a job referral for an upcoming or open position at a company. Connect. Network. Get referred.

    The Danger Of Dabbling In Your Job Search Jun 21, 2022
    Show notes

    Join Isaiah as he talks about the dangers of dabbling in your job search and what you should instead if you want to stop being invisible

    Here’s a quick rundown of this week’s episode…

    • First, Isaiah explains why you should never dabble in your job search
    • Next, Isaiah lists the tools PhDs have at their disposal to reach out to potential employers
    • Finally, Isaiah discusses how academia isolates PhDs and why you should break your isolation and work hard to build an industry network

    From This Week’s Show…

    Why You Should Never Dabble In Your job Search

    Many hiring managers and recruiters will never come back to a job candidate’s LinkedIn profile once they have decided that you lack industry credibility.

    Worse, many top employers have a mandatory six- to twelve-month waiting period before they will reconsider you for a position at their company once they have reviewed your resume and rejected your candidacy for a position.

    Your industry job search is not a trial-and-error affair. This is not academia. If you are performing a poor and sloppy job search, you are burning bridges, and it is time for you to stop.

    The Tools You Can Use To Reach An Employer

    You can find everything you need to know about an employer on their website. They might even have a careers page that gives you specific information about how to get in touch with them.

    You can find these employers on LinkedIn too, including every employee who works at these companies.

    You can email these employers or simply pick up the phone, call their office, and ask to speak to someone in the hiring department.

    How Academia Isolates PhDs

    As PhDs, we are trained for years and years to keep to ourselves, and, over time, we have become isolated in our ivory towers. In our isolation, we tell ourselves stories that fit our situation and shift blame off ourselves and onto imaginary forces.

    We imagine that we’re not being contacted by industry employers because our PhD has made us overqualified. We imagine that our PhD background is too niche or that we lack some specific skill on a job posting.

    In reality, we just don’t want to reach out to anyone because it’s too uncomfortable. Nobody in industry knows you, and nobody will know you if you keep doing what you’re doing.

    You can read and learn as many job search strategies as you want, but none of them will fix your number one problem: your lack of network and your lack of drive to network.

    How To Give An Industry Interview Presentation Jun 20, 2022
    Show notes

    Join Isaiah as he explains how to prepare and industry presentation, the questions you should ask, and the mistakes you should avoid

    Here’s a quick rundown of this week’s episode…

    • First, Isaiah presents the common briefs for industry presentations across positions
    • Next, Isaiah discusses the questions you should ask when assigned an industry presentation
    • Finally, Isaiah introduces the main mistakes that PhDs make when preparing an industry presentation

    From This Week’s Show…

    What Are The Common Briefs For An Industry Presentation

    When it comes to creating effective industry presentations, you must consider what your audience wants to see. In this case, your audience is the company.

    Most often, the hiring manager you’re in contact with will give you a short “brief” to help you prepare for the presentation.

    The most common brief is simply: “Talk about yourself, your interests, and your work in ten minutes.”

    Other common industry interview briefs include: “Discuss your work on XYZ and how it relates to our business model” or “Review a paper/clinical trial report and summarize the findings the way you would for one of our clients/partners.”

    Occasionally, depending on the role, you may be specifically asked to give an hour-long presentation about your graduate or postdoc work, but this should not be assumed.

    How To Prepare For An Industry Presentation

    If you are asked to give an interview presentation, make sure you ask: How much time will I have for my presentation?Who will be sitting in on my presentation?Is there anything specific that my presentation should cover?

    These questions will not only help you prepare for the presentation, they will also show initiative, which is a very positive transferable skill employers look for at the end of the interview process.

    Why PhDs Fail When Doing Their Presentations

    Effectively communicating during an interview presentation or otherwise, comes down to only two root considerations: your purpose and your audience.

    When it comes to communicating your purpose, ask yourself, What goal do I want my presentation to accomplish? What is the main message I want to convey?

    Your purpose should direct every decision you make about your presentation. It should guide what information you include in your slides, in what order you present your slides, and even how you speak.

    Despite its importance, many PhDs fail to set a purpose for presentations, and the consequences of this are painfully obvious. The result is typically a presentation that explores topics and ideas without offering anything concrete to act on.

    This is a cardinal sin for any industry role or company. The mantra of industry is “innovate or die.” Ideas, conclusions, and the like must be actionable.

    Remember, if you don’t know what message you’re trying to get across as a presenter, your audience won’t either, and your presentation will fail.

    Likewise, even the most well prepared presentation will lack impact if it doesn’t resonate with the audience.

    Unfortunately, many PhDs focus only on what works for them when planning their presentation rather than what is best for their audience.

    You should account for your audience in every decision you make about your presentation plan, from what time you present to what order you present your slides in.

    Creating A Job Search Strategy Jun 17, 2022
    Show notes

    Join Isaiah as he discusses the importance of having a job search strategy and what steps you can take to create yours

    Here’s a quick rundown of this week’s episode…

    • First, Isaiah explains why you need a job search strategy if you want to land a satisfying industry job
    • Next, Isaiah talks about the importance of documenting your progress as part of your job search strategy
    • Finally, Isaiah explains how networking fits into a well-executed job search strategy and why you can’t ignore this component

    From This Week’s Show…

    Why PhDs Need A Job Search Strategy As Part Of Their Transition Plan

    An industry job search, executed in the correct sequence, starts with understanding your career options and creating a job search strategy for those options.

    In order to create an effective strategy, you must consider the sequence of your strategy. You cannot just haphazardly execute different job search-related activities at different times. Your approach must be organized.

    The Importance Of Documenting Your Progress

    You need to record your progress. At the very least you should have a spreadsheet with 5 columns: Companies of Interest, Job Postings or Informational Interview Notes, Company Contacts, Date You Last Followed Up, Next Follow Up Date.

    To get hired, you have to design a campaign. You have to map out from A to Z what steps you are going to take, and you have to plan for contingencies. You cannot just fly by the seat of your pants.

    You can’t wake up on Tuesday and submit a few resumes, do nothing to progress your transition Wednesday and Thursday, reach out to a few contacts on Friday (the worst day to reach out to people by the way), coast on the weekend, and then search for more online job postings on Monday.

    Where are you documenting your progress? Where are you writing down your plans for each day of the month? Do you have a plan? Are you following a protocol? If not, it’s time to start doing so.

    How Networking Fits Into Your Job Search Strategy

    Once you have a strategy in place, you must grow and engage (or reengage) your network.

    The major component of your networking efforts is following up consistently with an ever-growing list of contacts at the companies you want to work for, setting up informational interviews with these people, and gently guiding them to a position where you can ask them for a job referral.

    If you want a job that pays well and allows you to do the best possible work you can do, you must get comfortable with the process of seeking job referrals. At the heart of any effective job search strategy is an intelligent networking strategy.

    Questions Employers Want Job Candidates To Ask During Interviews Jun 15, 2022
    Show notes

    Join Isaiah as he examines the types of questions you should ask during interviews to establish if the position is a good fit and show your potential as an industry candidate

    Here’s a quick rundown of this week’s episode…

    • First, Isaiah explains why it’s so important to not only ask questions during interviews but to plan your questions ahead of time
    • Next, Isaiah reveals the types of questions you should include and avoid during job interviews
    • Finally, Isaiah presents the 8 topics that you should cover when asking interview questions

    From This Week’s Show…

    Why You Should Always Ask Quality Questions During Job Interviews

    The quality of your candidacy for a position in industry is most clearly reflected in the quality of the questions you ask those interviewing you.

    You must seize the opportunity in every interview to turn the tables on the interviewer. You must become the interviewer yourself by asking questions that engage the other person and showcase your professionalism, business acumen, and overall understanding of the role, the company, and industry itself.

    Asking questions shows you’ve thought about and are committed to the position at hand. Asking questions also allows you to find out whether the position and company are truly a good fit for you.

    The Types Of Questions You Should And Shouldn’t Ask During Job Interviews

    The key is to ask questions that the interviewer can answer—and wants to answer.

    Don’t ask heavy-handed, rationale-based questions (e.g., “why” questions, such as “Why is the company doing this?”), technical questions, behavioral questions, or any question that may require the interviewer to reveal something proprietary.

    Instead, ask simple, straightforward “how” questions, “what” questions, and questions about the company’s culture. The company’s responses to these questions will paint a picture of what working for the company would look like for you to make it easier to decide if you would thrive there.

    Focus Your Questions On These 8 Topics

    When it’s your turn to ask the employer questions during an interview, there are eight topics your questions should focus on.

    1. Hierarchy – Who will I be reporting to?
    2. Mergers and Acquisitions – What collaborations are underway?
    3. Restructuring – How is the company being restructured?
    4. Career Trajectory – Where have others in this position gone?
    5. Emerging Markets – Where is the client base expanding?
    6. Sales and Marketing – Which products are creating growth?
    7. New Product/Projects – What new products are coming out?
    8. Corporate Strategy – What are the company’s five-year goals?

    You should always end each interview by asking a question that prompts the interviewer to discuss any objections they might have to hiring you, such as, “Are there any reasons why you wouldn’t hire me?”

    By planning your questions in advance and asking them during your interview, you will further establish your credibility as the best candidate for the job.

    How To Find Target Companies Jun 13, 2022
    Show notes

    Join Isaiah as he reveals the right strategy to find target companies that are a good match and are ready to hire you right now

    Here’s a quick rundown of this week’s episode…

    • First, Isaiah describes the wrong strategy that many PhDs use when looking to potential target companies
    • Next, Isaiah discloses how you should change that strategy to find companies that are a better fit
    • Finally, Isaiah explains why you should not only consider but also favor small and midsize companies in your job search

    From This Week’s Show…

    PhDs Use The Wrong Strategy To Search For Target Companies

    If you’re like me when I started my first industry job search, the extent of your online research for companies that would hire you was typing “top jobs” into a search window and pressing enter.

    Maybe you went one step further and typed “top jobs UK” or “top companies UK.” Or maybe you just typed in “job openings.” Whatever the specific case, this is a very poor job search strategy and a very poor research strategy in general.

    You can’t find unique opportunities specific to your situation by relying on short-tail keywords. Short-tail keywords are not specific; therefore, they’re likely to pull up many results but few that fit you, your goals, and your overall circumstances.

    Improve Your Company Search Strategy Using Long-Tailed Keywords

    Long-tail keywords, on the other hand, provide very specific information as an input to the search browser and yield very specific information to you that fits your very specific situation.

    So, instead of searching “top jobs” or “top companies UK,” try searching things like “midsize engineering companies, greater London area” or “fast growing R&D companies, Manchester” or “small biotech companies, project manager, Sydney.”

    These long-tail keywords will inevitably turn up aggregated lists of companies you’ve never heard of. Did you get that? These lists have already been aggregated for you.

    By using long-tail keywords in your research efforts, you’ll go beyond just identifying the same handful of companies that everyone already knows—Pfizer, Intel, Apple, Google, Amazon

    Why You Should Consider Small And Midsize Companies In Your Job Search

    When you start searching for small to midsize companies as well, you reveal millions of other companies in your space ready to hire you right now.

    Small to midsize companies are often in the fastest part of the industry growth phase, which means they are hiring aggressively.

    You might want to work for a large company, and that’s certainly an option. But does the company size alone matter?

    Small companies can have anywhere from 10 to 1,000 employees and midsize companies go up to several thousand employees.

    Even if you get hired at a very large Global 500 company, you’re only going to be working with a few hundred to a few thousand people in one office building.

    Is Your Resume Persuasive? Jun 08, 2022
    Show notes

    Join Isaiah as he discusses the importance of the industry resume and how you can set yourself up for success from the beginning of your application

    Here’s a quick rundown of this week’s episode…

    • First, Isaiah does a quick review of the hiring funnel
    • Next, Isaiah reveals how you can leverage the information you add to your resume to increase your chances of wowing employers down the line
    • Finally, Isaiah explains why the resume will never die and why you should always apply to any position with a targeted and convincing resume

    From This Week’s Show…

    A Glance At The Hiring Funnel

    There are layers and layers of barriers between your resume and a hiring manager, recruiter, or any gatekeeper.

    Large companies can receive up to two thousand resumes per open position with the average sitting at 250 applications per open position. Only three or four of those candidates will be interviewed face-to-face, by video or in person. That’s a 98.4% drop-off rate.

    Importantly, your resume will follow you through the entire hiring process. It will be one of the first things an employer sees about you and the very last thing they pass around the hiring committee table after your site visit when deciding whether to extend you a job offer.

    A good resume is not enough to get you hired, but a bad one can keep you from getting hired.

    How You Can Use Your Resume To Come Up On Top During The Interview Process

    Even if your resume gets into the hands of a hiring manager and you’re contacted for a phone screen, most of the questions you will be asked on that initial call will stem from your resume.

    If you wrote your resume correctly, you’ll be prepared for every question the employer asks. That’s right. You can use your resume to play a game of inception with employers by putting content that makes them ask for clarification on points that you can back up strongly.

    The same is true of video interviews and in-person interviews; employers will go back to your resume during these stages of the hiring funnel. Your resume will be passed around the hiring committee table after every interview is over. It’ll be the very last touchpoint employers have with you prior to deciding whether to extend you a job offer.

    Think about it. Not everyone who is on the hiring committee will meet you. Instead, they will have to rely on word of mouth from those who have met you—and from what they read about you on your resume.

    Why The Industry Resume Will Never Die

    One of the reasons your resume is so important is because of how easily it can be passed on. Regardless of how powerful LinkedIn has become in the world of talent acquisition, the resume will never die.

    This is because a resume is short and succinct. It can easily be printed and passed hand to hand between people on the hiring committee very quickly.

    Ultimately, your resume is subjective leverage that you control. It’s a persuasive marketing document that should build the strongest case possible for why you’re the best fit for that position.
