Description: Well-developed career stories are becoming increasingly important for individuals as they navigate an unstable and unpredictable labor market, especially for doctoral degree holders making a career change from the academy to other sectors. As part of this transition, it is especially important for individuals to begin to think about how they will talk about making a career change in their application materials and interviews.
