It’s our 80th episode! What better way to mark this birthday than with a special episode about aging in the workplace. Our special guest is Dr. John Tuton, a long-time adviser here in Career Services, who talks about what it’s like to age up in the workplace, how to handle potential cases of ageism and how to pivot your years of experience into something new and exciting. This interview was so engaging, we dedicated the entire episode to it!
Enjoy!
We’re back with our first episode of 2019 and the spring semester! With on-campus recruiting gearing up and four career fairs already behind us, Michael and Mylène take some time to discuss why sending a thank you is so important – and the unexpected power of receiving them. All that, plus a closer look at the February events calendar. Enjoy!
Show Notes
We made it! It’s the last episode of the semester and the last episode of 2018! Winter break is the ideal time to decompress, relax and connect with friends and family. It’s also a good time to do some simple, even fun things to prep for a springtime career search. Thank you for listening and we look forward to speaking with you again when we return in mid-January of 2019! Happy holidays!
There’s just two episodes left in 2018! When the semester winds down, stress levels tend to rise up. Mylène and Michael discuss all the resources on campus and across the city that can help you decompress as we head into that final push. Enjoy!
