Thoughtful Career Advice for Penn Students and Alumni, written by the staff of the University of Pennsylvania Career Services office and selected special guests.
Happy Thanksgiving from Career Services! This week, J. Michael and A. Mylène welcome back Patricia Rose, director of Penn Career Services to talk about how to handle stressful questions about your job search from your family during the Thanksgiving break. Somewhere between the roast turkey and the sweet potato pie, start a new tradition and fire up this special Thanksgiving episode of CS Radio!
We’re off next week, but will be back with an all new episode on December 5th. Enjoy!
Some listeners have been experiencing problems playing back this week’s show through podcast apps on their mobile devices. We’re reposting in hopes that this will correct the error. Enjoy!
This Friday is our annual International Opportunities career fair. In preparation of that, Mylène and Michael take a look at the many resources we offer students looking to work abroad. We also welcome our former colleague, Helen Chung, to the studio. Helen has just returned from three years of working abroad in Hong Kong and brings her first hand experience to the show. All that, plus the usual rundown of this week’s events. Enjoy!
Happy Halloween! It’s time to tell spooky tales – and this year we’re digging up all the skeletons in our closet! Michael and Mylène welcome Senior Associate Director Claire Klieger to the studio to discuss how to deal with difficult moments from your past in a job search. Whether there’s a rough semester on your transcript, you took time off, you don’t exactly match the job description or something (seemingly) more serious, we’re going to help you exercise those demons! All that, plus the usual rundown of this week’s events. Enjoy!
As Homecoming approaches this weekend, we’re taking a look about the variety of services we offer to Penn alumni. We’re joined by Penn alum and Career Services employee, Ferrell Townshend, who will talk about how we work with alumni applying to medical school. Michael and Mylène highlight other services, including our network of private career counselors. All that, plus the usual rundown of this week’s events! Toast will be thrown!!
Enjoy!
