Beyond the Professoriate shows that PhDs move through four stages during their career transition. PhDs must:
- DISCOVER their values, interests, and skills and build a metric for career opportunities.
- RESEARCH career pathways that align with their metric.
- IMPLEMENT a job search focused on one career field of interest.
- BUILD a career by evaluating their career choices and identifying future opportunities.
