Paul is an executive and career coach, licensed psychologist, former human resources leader, and friend of the podcast who’s generously agreed to guide us through his steps for making a career change. 

Paul shares his approach for:

• Finding your values and interests beyond your academic discipline through self-discovery questions he poses to clients
• Crafting your “work story” and framing how your skills and talents can apply outside your academic and work experience
• Building and tapping into your network (and yes, you have to network, but it's not as bad as it sounds) 
• Navigating interviewers who question a lack of “relevant work experience” 
• Learning the skills a new job demands 

Yes, it’s infinitely easier to update your resume and indiscriminately apply to jobs. But slow, steady, and strategic is the better bet according to the experts, our guest included.
