The job market in physics has shifted from academia towards industry and from basic research to broad skills applications in development, process, and production areas. Today, physicists need placement skills and career information to compete strongly in a more diversified jobs arena. The Workshops offer practical training on preparing to enter the job market.
Topics covered include resume and letter writing as well as how to prepare for an interview.
Advice is given on resources for jobs in physics, statistics of employment and education, and networking strategies. Workshop training also deals with a diverse range of career paths for physicists. A Career Materials Book, specially designed for physicists, accompanies the Workshop presentation and exercises.
