(I need to write another article with heavy scientific evidence about the perks of hiring PhDs!) But, don't hide your PhD title just because you are afraid of people thinking you are too qualified, it is sad, and it perpetuates the idea PhDs are no good hires. If you have to do this, for whatever circumstances you may be, it is okay too. I hate the idea of you having to hide you have a PhD to get a job. It takes a tremendous effort to get a PhD, years of hard work, lab experiments, reports, conferences, finding the answer to impossible questions, it is an honour, and it deserves to be shown. I did some research on the pros and cons of having it, and, at times, decide to have it accompaining my name or not. I have had the word PhD beside my name here on LinkedIn.

Read the works of Liz Ryan of how to take this road. For potential clients you may say you are interested in starting consulting. You have 3 or 4 years of experience already from the PhD, right? Well, why not to try adding consulting to your headline? Just a note here, if you go for a job interview, just mention you are a consultant if you are really one.
Consulting, why not?Īre you a PhD seeking a new role? Why don't you start offering consultancy for companies in your area of expertise? You will get surprised with the #ROI some cold calls will make on your CV. Besides, there is no problem at all in job-hunting this is just a transitory status of your life that shall pass too. It saved me a lot of awkwardness speaking to potential employers. I would certainly have it again if I were between jobs. Should you have this statement on your headline? Totally up to you, I had a few times and I don't regret it. If you choose to sign that to recruiters, perhaps, use the shorter version "seeking new role". The phrase "Seeking new role"Īnother suggestion: headlines can be used to show your job-seeking status, using phrases such as "seeking new role", "looking for a new position" or "open to new opportunities". The choice for either of these worlds is yours, believe me, it is. #Industry (another fantastic world) also offers a lot, but you need to sell what you know. #Academia (a world I love with all my heart) is one of your career options, not the only one.

You were a graduate when you finished college, if you are doing a PhD or have just finished one, you are a professional scientist with in-depth academic training, ready to rock an industry job.

You probably have a few years of experience too, so feel free to add more job-matching words to your headline to reflect that.Īnother no-word for PhD scientists, in my opinion, is "graduate". I could be a student of the water microbiology field, but definitively not for the job market. When I started my PhD I had 3 degrees in Biology and Science, besides having lecturing and industry experience abroad. If you are doing a PhD, I'd say, remove the word "student" from the headline. But like research, don't copy what people say, be creative and add your own words to describe your unique story : ) The words "student" and "graduate" They give you ideas of how to pitch your own profile. These profiles are all different and all very interesting. Some rock star science profiles to check: Moira Schuler, Karin Bodewits, Yuliya Shakalisava and Luis A. Water & Wastewater Research and Innovation│Environ-microbial-energy solutions │Water Businesses & Industry│Consulting (I have recently changed my headline to a more actionable form and am experimenting with this new version right now. Notice two things: I use the word "Consulting" and I also use ALL the space. It reflects what I love and am good at doing.
You are not a "PhD student", you are a "PhD researcher" or "Cell Biology Specialist", or a "Climate Change professional", or whatever your area of specialisation is. Have I convinced you? Okay, scientists, here we go, my heart advice for you: What your headline needs to convey you are a professional, not just a "student" Also, my activity on LinkedIn impacted positively three job offers, including two in industry. Yes, I did, and I want to share with you what I learnt there. Before, you wonder why I am saying these things about the headline, I got trained on LinkedIn HQ in Dublin.
