The Versatile PhD
Ph.D. Students & Ph.D. Alumni!
Visit The Versatile PhD, a great new resource for Ph.D. students and alumni interested in exploring non-academic careers! The Versatile PhD is a web-based resource that you can access 24/7. It is convenient and completely confidential. Only registered members may read or post, and you are in control of your profile. The services include:

- A collection of compelling first-person narratives written by Ph.D.s, describing how they established their non-academic careers
- Successful CV-to-resume conversions that resulted in a Ph.D. or ABD in humanities or social science getting hired into his or her first non-academic position
