Building Phd Careers | Interview with Jennifer Polk, PhD - Founder of From PhD to Life

In this interview, I talked to Jennifer Polk, Ph.D. Jen is a career coach and an expert on careers. She launched from Ph.D. to Life, a career coaching and speaking business, and blog, I should add, in 2013. She co-founded Beyond the Professoriate in 2014 and currently writes on graduate education and careers for doctoral degree holders. She's also a guest speaker on university campuses and academic and professional conferences throughout North America and beyond. Her University Affairs blog is a three time gold winner from the Canadian Online Publishing, Awards and Jen did her Ph.D. in History from the University of Toronto.
We talked about life after academia, her path out, and what supports we'd like to see universities add for PhDs.

Why is every Canadian I've ever met so genial?

[@charuuppal7043]

Career coaches are highly recommended. So students should plan to save for this. Seriously, it can pay much in the long run.

Hello, I am looking to interview adjunct faculty who teach at either community or 4 year institutions about their experiences and perceptions of collegiality. I am looking for participants for the field testing phase (3-4 people). Would you be interested in sharing your experience? I do have a formal proposal and recruitment flyer written and approved from my institution. This is for completion of my Phd in Psychology at Grand Canyon University. I would appreciate the opportunity to talk with you, and would also like you to share the recruitment link and flyer broadly. Thank you for considering!
