Graduate Student Job Search

Now that you have invested many years earning your Masters or PhD it is time to find employment. With your advanced degree it is unlikely that you will be satisfied with an entry level job. You now qualify for opportunities that require an advanced degree and the level of knowledge that goes with it. How to begin your search will vary depending on the path you wish to take. For example, you will need to determine if you wish to pursue an academic career path or a non-academic one. Hopefully you have already visited our CV writing tips page and/or resume writing tips page. For regardless of which path you choose you will need one or both documents in order to secure a job.
