2008 FASEB Career Development Symposium
I am sitting in Newark Airport waiting for my flight to San Diego which, not surprisingly, has been delayed for about 2 hours. As you might have guessed from the title of this post, I am on my way to the 2008 FASEB Career Development Symposium which is run every year at the annual FASEB meeting.
As we have done in the past, my colleagues Eric Celidonio and Joe Tringali, and I will be presenting seminars and resume writing workshops for graduate students and postdocs. Our goal, as always is to offer these folks some advice and tips on how to find a job after they complete their training. Unfortunately, the job market for PhDs has been depressed for the past 8 years or so. There once was a time, circa 1994-2000, when finding a job for alife sciences or chemistry PhDs was a snap. In those days, many jobs were left unfilled. Ironically, it has been scientific advances and technological innovations that have made it more difficult for PhDs to find jobs over the past decade or so.
Anyway, if you are attending FASEB this year, please stop by. Also, tell all your friends! We like when it is busy.
Until next time....
Good Luck and Good Job Hunting!!!!!!!!!!
