Navigating Job Searches

I have navigated several job searches since completing my graduate studies, and I gained a lot of helpful guidance along the way. I have been passing it along via free public sessions for the benefit of anyone searching for career opportunities beyond academia or the U.S. government – in science communication or other fields. Below are some recent webinars. To be notified of the next event, please join my mailing list.
