“The biggest challenge I faced was adapting my resume for a non-academic audience… I was skeptical about moving my education to the last page, but doing so allowed me to foreground my work experience related to this new field, rather than highlight my education in other seemingly unrelated areas. This was a counterintuitive move for a PhD student. Career coaching helped reassure me!”
