One may have a degree qualification, even a PhD, that too a PhD in a STEM subject, but might still be struggling to get a job. We discuss 'WHY' does it happen, and how to get over that.
We shall discuss three most crucial skills required by STEM PhDs: communicating ably through technical writing; impactful public speaking before peer-audiences, or mixed audiences; and avoiding the trap of a 'single-subject cocoon' by gaining expertise in at least two, if not more, non-overlapping subjects. Besides, a STEM PhD should also stay ahead of the emerging digital technologies by learning to work comfortably with AI and related high-tech tools like big-data, machine learning and chatbots.
Key Features:
