Dear Grad Students,
Have you checked out the Graduate Student Professional Development Guide yet? It's a free, online resource for Berkeley grad students, full of advice on how to use campus resources to develop skills like writing and communication, career exploration and preparation, and more.
You can also use the Guide to learn how the skills you're already developing in grad school -- like teaching a class, writing a dissertation, or organizing a conference -- will help you in a variety of career paths. Happy reading!
