Growing and maintaining a network takes time, but it is especially important for PhDs, many of whom have limited connections with professionals in other career fields. A network is one of the most critical parts of your job search, and can make a significant different in how long a job search lasts. Staying connected to, and engaging with, professionals in your career field of interest means that you’ll be top-of-mind when new job opportunities arise. This is your chance to stand out in a crowded and highly competitive job market. Join this webinar to learn how to maintain relationships with people I connect/network with, and how to continue expanding your network while job searching.Register here:https://institutions.beyondprof.com/webinar-build-and-grow-network/

One of the most important tools PhDs can leverage in their job search is LinkedIn. But to effectively leverage LinkedIn, you’ll need to have a strong LinkedIn profile that clearly communicates who you are as a professional. Your LinkedIn profile will be the first impression colleagues and employers have of you, so it’s important that your profile is well-written, impactful, and accurately portrays who you are and what you do.This webinar is designed for doctoral students, PhDs, and postdocs from all academic disciplines who are wondering: 
Why is LinkedIn an important part of a nonacademic job search?
How should I use LinkedIn strategically and effectively in my job search?
What makes a good LinkedIn profile? How should I craft one as a PhD exploring nonacademic careers?
