Why Generic Resumes Won't Get You a Job Offer (Beyond the Professoriate)

Register

Sending out resume after resume, but not hearing back? You’re not alone. Nearly half of graduate students (48%) believe that submitting resumes to online job postings is the most effective way to land a job. But it’s not an effective strategy, and this approach often leaves graduate students and PhDs feeling frustrated in their job search.

Add to this the challenges of job searching in an AI-driven job market, where generative AI-tools have made it easy for job seekers to churn out nearly identical resumes. In this competitive environment, PhDs must tailor their application materials and adopt a more strategic approach to job searching.

Join Beyond the Professoriate for this webinar on why generic resumes won’t get you a job offer — and what you should spend your time and focus on instead.

This webinar is designed for doctoral students, PhDs, and postdocs from all academic disciplines who are wondering:

• Why do I need to tailor my resume for each job posting?
• If resumes won’t get me a job offer, what should I focus on instead?
• How can I unlock new opportunities and access the hidden job market?
