IF YOU DON’T HAVE A NETWORK,

You might have a job— but you don't have a career.

I know, I know— bad news. I’m your average introvert physicist next door & I hate people too. (My cell phone’s been on silent for 25 years & I rewired my doorbell so it only rings when I’m not home.)

But your network is not ALL the people in the world. t’s a few of the RIGHT people— in your field. Because yes, “people hire people” (& yes, scientists are people too), but even more so— people hire people they know.

NAVIGATE THE HIDDEN JOB MARKET

Networking for Postdocs

80% of open positions, in academia & industry, are filled before they’re advertised. But if you don’t have a professional scientific network (yet!), download this guide & we’ll build it together in 4 simple steps.

IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHERE TO START, IT’S BECAUSE

They don't teach that in grad school.

[NOT BECAUSE IT’S ROCKET SCIENCE….THEY DID TEACH THAT.]

INSIDE THE GUIDE, WE’LL DECIDE

What to say & when to say it

and I’ll walk you through 16 specific, concrete examples from postdocs who’ve got their dream jobs, both inside & outside academia, to help you start networking at conferences with confidence & clarity.

BUILD YOUR OWN PROFESSIONAL NETWORK & I GUARANTEE

You'll never have to “find a job” again— because it will find you.

CAREER COACH FOR SCIENTISTS

I help scientists figure out what they want & how to get it. I’ve got a PhD in physics & I spent 13 years in the lab. I know what it takes to get your PhD, to move yet again for your prestigious international postdocs, to spend years interviewing for a job you love in a city you love…because that’s what I did.

After I declined multiple offers in academia & industry to get my dream job (& my dream life) as an executive coach, I combined years of scientific expertise with professional coach training to create complete, step-by-step programs to help you get everything I’ve got— but an order of magnitude faster, now that we know what works.

AND IF THEY CAN DO IT, SO CAN YOU
