Resources.
Here are some professional development and advancement resources created by members of POWER. These resources focus on professional development in the areas of conducting science (e.g., open science information), the job search (e.g., interview tips), improving your job skills (e.g., writing, methodology), and job advancement (e.g., asking for a raise). Each of them has been posted to our News and Information section in the past, and are curated here for easy access.
We will be continually growing this portion of our website thanks to the efforts of the Mentorship and Professional Development committees. Note that some of the resources in this area are hosted on figshare so we can track their use, but you don’t have to sign up for figshare to view them.
Have an idea for a resource you might like us to create and post? Email us the idea to [email protected] and we will work on it!
