To quote another great academic, Ray Stantz: "I've worked in the private sector. They expect results."
Just remember that the business world is going to expect results driven by their current business needs, not by solving interesting problems. So you want the shortest path that'll get you from here to there, which means bone up on the libraries or frameworks that are germane to your company's needs. Learn what your company's coding standards are from developers who are in the know, and apply them to your code.
Also, might I suggest finding a company that's at least tangentially related to what you did your Ph.D. in. That doctorate is going to look great, and your expertise is going to be super valuable, giving you a much-needed opportunity to strengthen yourself in the areas of industrial development where you are weak on the job, while still contributing value.
