A friend of mine has done his PhD in Social Psych and is almost done with his post-doc in Future of Work. Could he apply to consulting firms? Or maybe the HR department at our firms? Any guidance appreciated

Having a PhD to go into HR is monumentally over qualified. Sadly most HR departments are dumping grounds. They’d be better off looking at a people and talent specialist organization like Korn Ferry. Or doing something more meaningful than consulting!

He could totally apply to consulting firms. One of my colleagues has a PhD in anthropology (works in Digital / Human Centered Design consulting)

Hello,

I am currently a Health Admin Fellow at a leading healthcare system. I am in a phase during my fellowship where I will have to start searching for a role within the system in the next 3 months.

I was wondering what kind of role would be best step forward for an admin fellow.

I was offered a project coordinator role but feel I should not accept the same without looking at other options. I aim to seek out a project manager role and was wondering if this would be the wrong step forward.

Not trying to find loopholes, but given their low-income, would be nice to know if there are programs I’m not finding in my rsch.
