WHY YOU NEED THIS

Today's job market is tough. Job openings have contracted sharply for PhDs over the past two years and data shows that these openings will continue to contract over the next 3-5 years. Layoffs are continuing to climb. And new AI resume filtering software is leaving most PhDs in the dark after uploading their resumes to job postings. The most common response to applying to a job today is silence or an automated rejection. Now, more than ever, PhDs need a proven plan for getting hired. The Power of a PhD Career Transition Challenge provides this plan to PhDs for free.

In this Challenge, you'll learn from Isaiah Hankel, PhD, CEO of the world's premier career training platform for PhDs, Cheeky Scientist, how to get hired into the industry career of your dreams. You'll learn how to communicate your skills so employers see your value and how to get past today's stringent AI resume filtering systems. You'll learn how company ATS software and LinkedIn score you as a job candidate. You'll also get an in depth overview of the sectors, companies and job titles PhDs with your background are being hired into.
