The creator says the masterclass is completely free and does not ask for a credit card, only a name and email. It guides users based on their situation, including industry professionals, PhDs or postdocs, current adjunct or contingent faculty, and professors seeking a lateral move. The guide covers next steps such as establishing a teaching zone, networking, creating an academic CV, and for PhDs reviewing the hiring calendar and preparing a research statement.
