Abstract:
Preparing for Your Job Search

Regardless of whether you hope to work in academia, industry, or beyond, it’s never too early to start thinking about your job search. This workshop will help prepare you for every part of the job search from exploring career options appropriate for your skills, values, and preferences to negotiating an offer.  In order to strengthen your applications, you’ll want to research job options, build your professional network, and identify some job search strategies. In addition, we’ll talk about getting together your application package in the form of resumes/CVs, cover letters, and more and putting your best foot forward in interviews. This workshop will help to put you one step closer to your dream job.
