Tips from employers to PhD candidates Convince the employer that you can translate your ideas into commercial reality and that the commercial world is not your second option because you can’t achieve a career in academia. Prove that you have researched the position carefully. (KPMG) Prove that you’ve given thought to the differences between the academic and corporate environment. (Welcome Trust) Demonstrate knowledge of the goals and values of the organisation you are applying to and try to prove initiative and innovation. (SKB) I turn down candidates who show a lack of commercial awareness. (McKinsey) Emphasise the more rounded individual rather than the researcher. Are you a self-starter? Do you have leadership qualities? Take any opportunities to develop yourself outwith academia. (Accenture) Don’t over-rely on academic achievement. Stress transferable skills such as teamworking, report writing and leadership. (SEPA) Gain teaching and coaching skills and try to give presentations at conferences. (KPMG) Candidates must have transferable skills and must be able to demonstrate them. (BMSP)
