Emotional, physical, spiritual exhaustion. Cynicism and snark as far as the eye can see. Job conditions getting worse by the minute. How do we get our energy back?

The answer is: we can’t. We won’t. Not by working the same old jobs in the same old way.

But, whether you leave or stay, you can heal your relationship to your work. This workshop shows you how.

Join Dr. Esty – certified mindfulness teacher, former professor and dean, current healthcare chaplain and coach – for your crash course in burnout recovery.

Converting a CV to a Resume

Led by TPIO Coach Adrienne Posner

The workshop you’ve been asking for!

Have you ever looked up “how to write a resume” and been completely baffled by the volume of opinions, commentary and websites purporting to give foolproof advice? Are you overwhelmed by thinking about how to translate your skills and experiences into a document that makes you marketable outside the academy? Do you have basic questions about how a resume should look and feel? In this workshop by TPII coach Adrienne Posner, you’ll look at some real life examples of resumes and learn how to: 1) move beyond the CV-mindset by writing an effective resume that is an argument about why you are a good fit for the job; 2) target your resume to a specific job; 3) describe your academic work in a way that makes sense to a recruiter or HR person.

You’ll also have the opportunity to have your resume critiqued in real time, so bring your documents to review!

By the end you’ll have what it takes to write a compelling resume that helps you find real work outside academia.

Many of you talented and qualified people are trying to figure out the transition into UX [User Experience] Research! And why wouldn’t you? It’s recession-proof remote research work with a six-figure entry salary. Join The Professor Is In (or rather The Professor Is Out) for a group informational interview with Dr. Helana Darwin, who has made this pivot from unemployed PhD to gainfully employed UX Researcher. In this session, Helana will share words of wisdom from the industry job market, screen share and explain her industry resume (and walk you through the differences from an academic CV), and devote an hour to Q & A. Many of you will have the same questions, so this group session format will benefit everyone.

Dr. Helana Darwin is an author, MeToo activist, and a Qualitative UX Researcher at AnswerLab. Her academic research utilized a range of digital methods including virtual ethnography, blog discourse analysis, and online comment sentiment analysis, in addition to traditional methods such as in-depth interviews and survey research, and these are what she mobilized in her transition into UX research. Her dissertation-as-book, Redoing Gender: How Nonbinary Gender Contributes toward Social Change, just debuted as the #1 New Release in Sociology and the #1 New Release in Gender Studies.
