This workshop aims to familiarize women in the mathematical sciences with professional opportunities in academics, industry and government labs and to help them thrive in the mathematics related fields. There will also be a special panel discussions to discuss interviewing process, and the principles of negotiation, developing "best alternatives to a negotiated agreement," and understanding your negotiating style.

The audience is graduate students and Ph.D.s in the early stages of their post-graduate careers. Researchers at any stage of their careers will also find it valuable.
