Hi Reader,
I’m going to offer a low-cost live workshop soon, and I want your help choosing the topic.
(Everything is awful, so let’s focus on something fun and useful instead, at least for 60-90 minutes.)
I’ve narrowed the potential workshop topics down to five, and I’d love to know which one would be most helpful for you.

More details on each workshop:
🔹 Transferable Skills: How to Make Your Work Experience Legible to Non-Academic Employers
→ Learn how to translate your academic work into industry-friendly language for resumes, interviews, and networking.
