[quote=Anonymous]I graduated this spring with a history PhD from a top program (think Northwestern/UVA/Georgetown/Michigan/Duke). I'm currently doing a postdoc at an Ivy institution, but I don't plan on staying in academia. I'm open to jobs in government/journalism/think tanks/NGOs and would like to live in DC, where my spouse works. The problem is, after being in grad school for the past 5 years or so, I have no idea where to start. My field is foreign relations history, but I'm not sure what transferable skills I have. Should I learn quant skills like econometrics and statistics? Networking? How do I make myself appealing to potential employers on job applications and interviews? Thanks in advance![/quote]
