A Note From David
How would it feel to finally put your education years behind you and start getting paid what you are worth?
I remember how amazing it felt to make that transition…to finally have a ‘real world’ job and get paid real money for my skills and expertise.
There is a lot that a scientist needs to know to make a smooth transition to industry - to interview well, to make a great impression that first week on the job, and to become a valued member of a high-caliber industry team.
I’ve been teaching this workshop at universities around the globe for 5 years now, and this is the most popular session I give. Participants love having the opportunity to ask me questions and discuss their plans and ideas with other people in the workshop about how to transition to industry.
I encourage you to invest in making an awesome transition into your first industry job by signing up for this workshop. I limit the size to make sure I have the opportunity to interact with everyone, so seats are limited. I look forward to meeting you in person in January.
Regards,
Dave
