As a graduate student and early-career scholar, building a portfolio of professional academic experiences provides a lot of potential value. Freelance jobs in editing, translation, indexing, research and similar kinds of work can be good résumé and CV builders and offer useful preparation for a range of careers within and beyond the university. They can be an opportunity to deepen one’s knowledge of a certain subject area or learn about a new one.
JULY 22, 2020 IN JANUARY 2020, we attended the Modern Language Association’s annual conference in Seattle. There we convened with a working group — organized by Katina Rogers and Stacy Hartman — of professionals, professors, and graduate students who work across various roles in higher education or adjacent institutions. This piece on humanities doctoral programs that follows was co-written by six working group members.
Career exploration is like the assembly of a showstopper on The Great British Baking Show: the earlier you start, the better. Don’t fret, though: there’s no five-hour time limit. And if you’re already enrolled in a doctoral program (or have already finished one), your search and your career have already begun. Because although you’re “in school,” time spent in a PhD program should always be conceived of as work.
