Elena Hoffer, PhD

During my PhD, I taught myself most things.

So do you!

Now, as I build my business in a field unrelated to my PhD, I'm continuing to teach myself new skills.

And you can do the same in your next job.

PhDs are expert learners!

So, even if you don't meet all the requirements in a job description, apply anyway. Show that you're willing and capable of learning new things.

What did you teach yourself lately?

Happy Tuesday 💜
