[quote=Anonymous]I have several friends with history PhDs working at NEH. They love the work and describe the agency culture as very friendly, since so many PhDs work there. You might see if you can set up an informational interview with people who've gone into fed agencies you're interested in and get some advice about how to craft a resume and application for federal jobs, since it's its own special world. There are more and more mutual support and networking groups for ex-academics and PhDs not going into academe, and they are full of good advice. Track down the graduates of your own program who are working outside the academy and find out about their stories. Twitter is a great place to connect with people in your field doing alt-ac and nonacademic work. It's one of the less toxic corners of the Twitterverse.[/quote]
