In this episode of Exiting Academia, I talk through what it can look like to move from an MA in English into an internal communications specialist role. I focus on the practical bridge between “humanities training” and corporate comms work—how your research, writing, editing, and stakeholder-management skills translate when you’re no longer writing seminar papers or teaching sections, but communicating clearly inside an organization. I also zoom out to the bigger career-coaching takeaway: your degree title isn’t your destiny—your skill story is. If you’re considering a pivot, I want you to stop treating your background as something you have to apologize for and start packaging it as evidence. The goal is to build a clean narrative: what problems you solve, who you solve them for, and what outcomes you can point to. If you want more structured support, I point you to my coaching and the community resources we run through Patreon.
