Silence. Automated rejections. That’s what most PhDs hear back in today’s industry job market.
Too many PhDs find themselves applying and applying to jobs without any success. Other PhDs remain uncertain on which career track is the best fit for their skills and experiences.
The fastest and most effective way to determine which industry career is right for you and then to get hired into it is by talking to PhDs who are successful in industry now. Unfortunately, organizing informational interviews with these PhDs can be challenging.
That’s why we are excited to announce the 40-For-5 Power Of A PhD Summit where we bring successful industry PhDs directly to you. During this event, you will get to hear from 40 PhDs in 40 different careers and with 40 different PhD backgrounds on how they got hired and what they do in their careers day-to-day.
This special event is completely free for PhDs. But, there are limited seats available so make sure you register now by clicking the orange button below.
Imagine what it would be like to download the experiences of 40 top industry PhDs.
What would it be like to have insider information from PhDs with your background who have faced your challenges in the job market?
How much more quickly would you be able to get hired into the right industry job for you?
How much pain would you be able to avoid?
The pain of rejection. The pain of silence. The pain of uncertainty.
The reason that informational interviews are so valuable for PhDs is because a PhD-level job search is so different from any other type of job search.
Less than 2% of the population has a PhD (World Economic Forum).
Less than 0.1% of all job openings are PhD-level jobs, as defined by either the job posting asking specifically for a PhD or the salary range being at the PhD-level (Bureau of Labor Statistics).
Yes, 0.1%.
The only way to secure one of these rare, competitive careers as a PhD is to learn first-hand from PhDs how they did it first.
"I accepted my job offer today. I was able to get 5k more (195k) + the exact PTO package I wanted. I am very happy and very thankful for everything that I learned through the event. I plan to stay involved with Cheeky Scientist as I love what y'all are doing and I'm still learning."

The average PhD-level job search takes 18 months (Internal Data).
Yes, 18 months.
Even the average job search for all job seekers, regardless of their degree-level is now 6 months and lengthening (Zippia).
How much time in terms of gathering knowledge, trial and error could you save by attending the 40-For-5 Power of a PhD Summit?
Let’s use the 6 month number above to calculate it…
If you get access to this event, which is free, you’ll be learning from 40 PhDs who executed 40 different job searches.
The majority of PhDs spend about 5 hours a week on their job search.
40 job searches X 6 months X 4 weeks/month X 5 hours per week = 4,800 hours of knowledge.
That’s what you’ll be gaining by attending this event.

I’m Isaiah Hankel, PhD. My team and I put together this special free event for PhDs because my passion is getting PhDs like you hired into their dream industry careers.
I’ve been helping PhDs like you get hired into their dream industry careers for 11 years now. During this time, I’ve seen PhDs from thousands of backgrounds overcome thousands of different obstacles – from ageism, overqualification, underqualification, needing a visa, not knowing where to start, and more – successfully transition into thousands of different careers.
The ONE thing they had in common was they were all hungry to learn from other PhDs who had been hired successfully before them.
Unfortunately, most PhDs trying to get hired today have to rely on blog articles, social media posts, or advice from very small panels of only 3 to 5 PhDs at a time.
In response – my team and I found ourselves asking a simple question…What if we put together the biggest panel of industry PhDs ever assembled for a half day event where ever panel member was interviewed?
This special 40-For-5 Power Of A PhD Summit is the answer to our question and we know it is going to give you the answers to all the questions you have about your job search too.
I’ll see you at the event!
Extra thrilled...I now have a full-time job lined up before I even graduate. Yay! Cheeky Scientist helped me get my internship, 3 offers, and the offer I wanted at a competitive salary because I had other offers to leverage. All before I even graduated.
