[quote=Anonymous]I was trying to switch career paths to something that would make me more employable (ie not academia). When I had my Ph.D. on my resume, I did not get called back, as soon as I took that degree off my resume, I started getting good responses. And I get it, if I saw someone applying for my current job with a Ph.D., I would wonder if that person really planned to stick around, if that person would be too fancy to do all the really basic crap that is part of the job, if that person was only applying because they were otherwise unemployable. I would suggest sending out some tester resumes with pared down degrees and see what happens.[/quote]
