Career Trends: Developing Your Skills
Making any kind of career transition requires that you review your skills to evaluate where your strengths lie, but scientists often discount skills they have learned in graduate school and/or in the lab. In some cases, they may not even consider such skills as being applicable to life beyond the lab. In this career collection, we examine what skills make you marketable and how you can build on your experiences to help you transition to the next phase of your career and be confident that you have the skills you need to get the job done.

Career Trends: Exploring Careers Beyond the Bench
Last month, the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) released a report* with some grim news that confirmed what is painfully obvious to recent Ph.D. graduates in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields: Unemployment for this cohort is on the rise (at 2.4% in 2010, up nearly a percentage point since 2008). Although it remains below the U.S. national average for all workers (8.2%), for bright students who have invested many years in specialized education and training, the outlook is discouraging. Furthermore, according to an NSF survey, in 2008 only 16% of Ph.D.’s in science, engineering, and health fields held positions in academia within three years of earning a doctorate.† Prospects for employment can be improved, however, for STEM Ph.D.’s who make a concerted effort to learn about positions outside the lab and prepare themselves for alternative paths.
