This week, we will be joined by Holly Prescott, PhD (she/her). Holly is currently the Careers Adviser for Postgraduate Researchers at the University of Birmingham (UK) and author of the new PhD Careers blog "PostGradual" (phd-careers.co.uk). She completed her PhD in English Literature at the University of Birmingham in 2011. Since completing her PhD, she gained four years experience in graduate student recruitment before moving over to postgraduate careers support. To aid this move, between 2014-16 she went back to studying part-time for a professional career guidance qualification. Outside of work, Holly keeps her literary interests alive as a member of the in-house company at the Crescent Theatre in Birmingham (UK) and as Co-Artistic Director of Ottisdotter Productions in London.
