Description

Most PhDs don’t know quite how to do it (or at least how to do it effectively), and almost all PhDs find it uncomfortable.
But without effective networking skills, your career transition will suffer and take longer. You probably already know this, yet networking might feel so far out of your comfort zone that it’s the one part of job hunting you make excuses to skip.
This week on the Cheeky Scientist Radio Show, we are joined by Karen Wickre, Author of Taking the Work Out of Networking: Your Guide to Making and Keeping Great Connections.
A former Google executive, editorial director of Twitter, and self-described introvert, Karen is notably one of the best-connected Silicon Valley figures. In this episode, she will share her networking advice (particularly for introverts) and tips on creating connections that count.
We’ll also be joined by Daniele Paradiso, PhD, Process Engineer. Daniele will share his transition journey, his new role, and how other PhDs can move into similar roles.
