Abstract: Plant Biology is a comfortable home for us as students, but it is not a permanent position – sooner or later all students need to get jobs. How should you approach this task to find the right job, to find it quickly, and minimize anxiety along the way? In this colloquium, I break the process down into five steps: 1. Deciding what type of job you want, 2. Preparing a strong CV, 3. Finding a position to apply for, 4. Submitting your application, and 5. The Interview. A great deal depends on luck, but with a little preparation at each step you can substantially improve your chances. The most important takeaway: A little anxiety is good but desperation is bad. Be patient and be prepared.
