literature, education, and early modern drama // the words, words, words of Dr James Alsop, Teacher of English // views are my own and do not represent those of my employer
When I completed my doctorate, I was still quite new to this teaching malarkey. It wasn't until I re-read my old PhD thesis after several years in the profession that I realised just how much my writing style had changed - and, I believe, improved - as a result of what I'd learnt in the classroom.
Whatever point you're at in your doctoral programme, it's a safe bet that by now you've already developed the kinds of useful and *demonstrable* transferable skills that employers love. Here's what I wish I knew back when I first started applying for roles outside of the academy!
