Description

In this conversation, Angela and I delve into the topic of self-limiting beliefs, particularly among PhDs transitioning into industry roles, alongside Angela Priest. We discuss common misconceptions about job descriptions, the overqualification dilemma, and the importance of collaboration and continuous learning in the workplace.


Angela highlights that job descriptions are more like guidelines than strict rules and explains how candidates often misinterpret the qualifications required. Together, we emphasize the need for PhDs to embrace a growth mindset, recognizing that it’s okay not to meet every criterion and that learning on the job is part of the process.
