A gap between academia and industry

As a recent PhD graduated trying to do something useful in this world, I often find myself trapped in a huge gap between academia and industry. 

And, sadly, there is nothing new about it, I know. 

The truth is: I expected a gap, and I also expected that moving from academia to industry would take time and lots of effort and "no's"

What I didn't expect was to find myself (and others like me) in a so difficult situation just because we are trying to do the most logical career pathway

Within this topic, I found the following articles very interesting. Please have a look:


After being in that gap for a while, I recently decided to build my own bridge by recognizing that an internship/training program could be the best option to take some industry experience. 

And, as I am in a post doc period of my life, I am available to boost my skills and professional experience!

Have you already considered an internship/temporary experience? Build your own bridge from academia to industry!

 Have a nice weekend!
