Find Out How to Utilize Your PhD to Get Hired Now in Any Industry!

After reading “The PhD career coaching guide” by Tina Persson, I decided to request individual coaching from Tina for an optimal transition from academia to industry. Her coaching style was sometimes confrontational by pushing boundaries, but it did help me make this transition possible. For example, she advised me to get over my shame and to approach recruiters and contact persons from vacancies directly. Furthermore, she helped me reading vacancies and explaining why some positions were more or less suitable for me. Her coaching gave me the confidence I needed, resulting in a suitable job in industry. I can recommend coaching by Tina for anyone who really wants to make the transition from academia to industry. Tina Persson is a true professional and because of her extensive experience in academia, recruitment, headhunting and coaching, she has a lot of experience and insights to share. For me it felt that her motto is: if you want something, stay positive, work hard, have confidence (and patience), and eventually good things will happen!
