I would certainly have it again if I were between jobs. Should you have this statement on your headline? Totally up to you, I had a few times and I don't regret it. If you choose to sign that to recruiters, perhaps, use the shorter version "seeking new role". The phrase "Seeking new role"Īnother suggestion: headlines can be used to show your job-seeking status, using phrases such as "seeking new role", "looking for a new position" or "open to new opportunities". The choice for either of these worlds is yours, believe me, it is. ![]() #Industry (another fantastic world) also offers a lot, but you need to sell what you know. #Academia (a world I love with all my heart) is one of your career options, not the only one. You were a graduate when you finished college, if you are doing a PhD or have just finished one, you are a professional scientist with in-depth academic training, ready to rock an industry job.

Notice two things: I use the word "Consulting" and I also use ALL the space. It reflects what I love and am good at doing. You are not a "PhD student", you are a "PhD researcher" or "Cell Biology Specialist", or a "Climate Change professional", or whatever your area of specialisation is. Have I convinced you? Okay, scientists, here we go, my heart advice for you: What your headline needs to convey you are a professional, not just a "student" Also, my activity on LinkedIn impacted positively three job offers, including two in industry.
