It is not you.

Transitioning to a non-academic career can be confusing and challenging.

  • "How do I identify skills I can use outside academia?"
  • "Academia is all I've ever known!"
  • "I'm applying for non-academic jobs but I'm not hearing anything back!"
  • "I don't know where to start!"
  • "Transitioning to a non-academic career sounds daunting. Do I have to start all over again?"

Any of these sound familiar?

I get it. When I was making the shift from academia to a non-academic job path, these questions ran through my mind regularly.

It can feel like a rut!

But making this career transition doesn't have to be energy-draining and discouraging.

This is why I created this 1:1 chat 90-minute career consult.

Listen to what Doreen, a postdoctoral researcher at Duke University had to say about her 1:1 session:

Frequently Asked Questions



How do I schedule my appointment?

Upon purchasing coaching, a TidyCal link will pop up that will take you directly to Dr. Nonterah's calendar. If you have trouble seeing that link, email [email protected] so I can send you the link. Please note that once the coaching call has happened, there will be no refunds. If you want a refund, please email me at least 24 hours before our scheduled call.



Can I purchase coaching more than once?

Absolutely! If you find yourself in need of coaching more than once, simply purchase the coaching again. But often, most people find a 90 minute coaching session with me sufficient.
