as well as Postdocs, can benefit from self-assessment. Making career
decisions can be confusing without a clear understanding of your own
internal priorities. Learn to develop a framework to help you think
about your future career options, values, interests, and transferable
skills, which graduate students and Postdocs often possess but many
not have recognized.</font><br>
