What Portfolio to Build, Why, and How to Use it for Success in Interviews and Future Project Work

Sign Up

"I'm good at research and science and have proof of that. Isn't that enough?" This seems like a reasonable question but being able to articulate how all the pieces of who you are and how you choose to spend your time fit together is equally as important as the science in which you excel. In this workshop, we will explore how you can bring all the elements of YOU together in a form that showcases your excellence in ways that get the notice of recruiters, interviewers, and future bosses.

If you begin to build the structure for your portfolio early in your PhD program, you will end up with a robust and integrated set of examples of your work and your abilities including science, communication, writing, team leadership, and positioning skills - all important to succeeding in your next step post-PhD.

This workshop is about setting up a structure that you populate over time. There will be workshops later in the year that go into more detail about building the content. You can choose the ones that fit the structure you create.
