1. How to create industry job leads and turn leads into referrals
2. Understanding industry interpersonal skills and how to apply them
3. How to make yourself a quality industry job candidate
4. How to leverage your PhD to get an industry job quickly
5. Top 10 industry jobs in 2016 and how to get them

Isaiah will incorporate the topics of salary negotiation, economics, management and corporate strategy into the above.
