Tina has deep knowledge of both academia and industry, which was invaluable during my transition out of academia. Most importantly, her approach helped me understand what I want to do, not just what I can do. I highly recommend working with Tina; she knows what she’s doing.

I found working with Tina to be very helpful, especially with how to craft my CV, motivational letters, and most importantly, keeping my confidence up as I made my transition from academia to industry. She was realistic in her feedback regarding the process and provided useful tips about what types of jobs and companies to look for, but also the necessary skills (self-study) to build in the time I was also looking for a job. My advice for future clients would be to come with an outline for yourself of the types of jobs you are interested in, the skills you have, and what exactly you want to get out of each session, so that she can better guide you through the process. After working with Tina over the last six months, I have found a job in the industry at a company I believe will help grow my skills, both professionally and personally. Her support has helped me push beyond the doubts I had during the more uncertain periods and to continue believing in my abilities. This is something very valuable when there can be so much uncertainty transitioning between fields.

"A book is only as good as its reader." That’s what I used to tell my mom when I was little and she asked why I kept rereading Harry Potter. I always felt there was more to discover — something new to learn each time. The same was true for Dr. Tina Persson’s Career Development Series, which I attended twice during my PhD at Hannover Medical School. Making time for extra workshops wasn’t easy, but I had a strong feeling this investment would pay off — and it did. In the first round, I focused on listening and reflection. Tina’s insights into the job market, self-discovery, and career fit were eye-opening. Between the sessions, I spent time understanding who I am and where I want to go. By the second time, I was ready to fully engage — and the experience was transformative. PhDs often assume we can adapt to any role because we are used to adapting and acquiring new skills all the time. But what truly makes a difference is discovering your personality, values, and natural strengths. Tina’s program helps uncover exactly that. Because there are no jobs for “someone” — but there are plenty for you once you know who that is. With Tina’s guidance, I learned how to identify my ideal job fit and express my transferable skills with clarity and confidence. Her sessions on resume building, LinkedIn, and interviews were filled with practical tips and honest, personalized feedback. Thanks to this, I left the program with clarity, confidence — and successfully transitioned from academia into the industry after my very first interview. This wasn’t because I’m exceptional. I’m no different than any other PhD student, that's what I know for sure. The main point was that I knew exactly what I wanted and that I was able to show why I was the right fit for the job I applied for, right from the start. Tina’s coaching gave me that clarity. Her program doesn’t offer a formula — it helps you find your own path. And once you do, everything else falls into place. What kind of job makes you smile? If you don't know yet, ask Tina. :) I highly recommend her amazing and inspiring coaching!

It has been a great experience to have collaborated with Dr. Persson on a coaching scheme at my University, Karolinska Institutet, in Sweden. Tina´s coaching approach allows you to explore your leadership style from novel perspectives and angles. Importantly, the environment in which a leader operates is strongly taken under consideration in Tina´s approach, acknowledging that one size doesn´t fit all. Through, her guidance one learns to appreciate own strengths and identify areas of development. Beyond our collaboration on the coaching level, we have established an authorship cooperation. It has been a pleasure to contribute as a chapter co-author in the job hunting textbook that Tina recently edited for the Royal Society of Chemistry.
