Section 4 - Map your personal labour market
It's hard to look for jobs and career opportunities when you are new to the labor market outside academia. It's worth spending time mapping your field of interest before you approach employers.
Start by using social media as a place to gather intelligence (snoop), you do not have to post anything. Start by searching for your peers and alumni from your own discipline. Where do they work, what sort of employers and companies have they entered? Have they listed their previous work? Who do they follow? What is their career trajectory?
Career trajectory is the path you take through your career. It is easier to reconstruct the path in retrospect, than to describe the future steps. Bear in mind that you decide which elements of your career story you wish to share. A CV or resume is not a tax return, you are allowed to tell your story in a way that makes your skills stand out, and downplaying elements that are not important for your story.
Watch out for imposter syndrome (doubting your skills, talents and accomplishments); look for career journeys and try not to get side-tracked by the applause that people give others for their successes.
Soon you will get a sense of where your competence is appreciated, and you can start converting your observation-browsing into active job hunting.
If you want to dig deep, you can google company size, work/life balance profile, vision and value statements to assess your excitement for the company.
If you think that you are open to a wider range of disciplines and companies using not only your specialist skills, you can try searching for more generic researcher verbs and activities: analyzing data, writing reports, processing data, giving speeches and presenting research, writing funding applications. You know what you like to do and what you are good at.
