Hi
π Welcome to my monthly PhD to Professional Newsletter. I share career insights on how to take your PhD smarts and skills to the much wider non-academic world. That was my journey and the journey of various PhD mates and new PhD connections I've made over time.
I've started a video series on PhD to Professional interviews and I'm pleased to share my very first video interview with Sam Harith.

Ethnic Research Aotearoa is supporting the development of a network specifically for postgraduate researchers who are involved in ethnic community-led research. This is a great opportunity to build connections with other researchers and professionals in the field.
π Your Network Is Your Net Worth
This Forbes article makes a compelling argument about how your network contributes significantly to your career success. Key takeaways: The right people can open up opportunities to other connections you would otherwise not have access to. Networking is about engaging over mutual interests and being helpful to each other. Successful networking requires not just effort but a genuine desire to build relationships. To sum it up - connect, share and add value.
