Academic-to-Industry Translation | 10-Page Career Transition Tool
You may already have valuable experience.
The problem is that employers outside academia may not immediately understand what your research experience means in their world.
“Managed experiments” may also mean project execution.
“Trained students” may also mean mentoring and team development.
“Troubleshot protocols” may also mean process optimization and root-cause analysis.
“Presented research” may also mean stakeholder communication.
The Academic-to-Industry Translation tool is a 10-page printable career-transition workbook designed to help graduate students, postdocs, and researchers translate academic experience into language that is clearer, more relevant, and easier for industry employers to recognize.
Instead of starting from scratch, use the tool to identify the value already inside your research experience and connect it to stronger resume evidence, transferable skills, and realistic role targets.
