There are only 2 weeks left to register for the Graduate School’s Fall Blitz Event! Please share this information with graduate students and postdocs in your area.

The Graduate School’s annual Fall Blitz event will take place on Tuesday, October 11^th (during fall break). This year’s event will feature Dr. Vay Cao, founder of Free the PhD, a self-described “career advocacy and training platform specially geared toward the needs of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.” During her day at Purdue, Dr. Cao will host four workshops, including:

1. What’s Out There? Job Titles Dissection
   This session will help attendees learn how to quickly interpret non-academic job titles and descriptions to assess whether positions match their skill set.
   
2. Live Resume Teardown – Step by Step
   This session will teach attendees how to craft a compelling non-academic resume to fit a job description.
   
3. Selling Yourself: Building a Brand
   This session will discuss the steps to personal-brand building on LinkedIn and how to develop a portfolio that will help attendees stand out.

4. Behind the Scenes: The Hiring Process
   This final session will discuss the hiring process from the organization’s perspective to help attendees better understand what to expect and how to prepare.

In addition to these workshops, the Graduate School is offering attendees a free professional headshot.
