3 Things Holding PhDs Back From Getting Hired

[@kerengranados7421]

As a first year PhD student who wants to go into industry after graduating your content is GODSEND. I am the first person in my family (and extended family) to go to college and want a career in science at times I feel lost about what is out there for me. Thank you so much for your work

[@CheekyScientist]

Thank YOU, Keren, for your kind words. What's your PhD background?

[@mattball7074]

I'm the same way--only at the Masters level right now.

Thank you so much, this is educational. Trying to transition from finance to agritech while pursuing a PhD and that's hard

It's funny, I faced the exact same thing with my master thesis supervisors (One of them being a department head). They didn't know anyone. Though I wanted to do Ph.D. I'm finally starting my Ph.D. in material science. But I hope to put your videos to good use in the coming time, especially in generating networks.
