How Authenticity lands You a Job in Industry with Dr. Jorge Quintana

Audio

Description

In this episode of PostPhDirections, I talk with Jorge Quintana, a macroeconomist who made what he calls a “transition squared” — moving from academia to industry and from Europe to the U.S. We dig into how he navigated both shifts, what made the transition challenging, and how he learned to show up not just as a qualified candidate, but as a whole person.Jorge shares how practicing interviews, shifting from technical explanations to outcome-driven stories, and embracing his personality helped him land a role in model risk management.
