Description
From graduate school to the outside world: a graduate student organized session
Designing your professional career profile for increased visibility
Panellists:
● Prof. Bipasha Baruah (Canada Research Chair in Global Women’s Issues, Western University) and Cam Malthaner (Career Education Coordinator, Western University)
Rationale: The path to obtaining a graduate degree is laden with challenges and opportunities intended to prepare students to be significant contributors to society. How can graduate students take full advantage of the graduate school experience to prepare themselves for a thriving career in academia and beyond. As academic job windows are constricting, how can graduate students present their experiences to reflect the skills that potential employers search for? How do they strategically enhance their visibility to potential employers through various trending professional web pages such as Linkedin? What tools are available and how can students make the best of these options? These and more questions will be addressed in this insightful panel discussion. This panel will include short presentations by the panelists and students will have the opportunity to ask further questions after the presentations. Any questions you have in advance can be sent to Eunice Annan-Aggrey (eannanag@uwo.ca) and Aislinn Adams (aadams59@uwo.ca).
*Please note this session will be recorded and posted on this page after the conference.
