Thoughtful Career Advice for Penn Students and Alumni, written by the staff of the University of Pennsylvania Career Services office and selected special guests.
Thinking it’s already too late to secure a summer job or internship? This week, Michael and Mylène take a look at the 2015 summer survey data that shows plenty of undergraduates didn’t secure their summer activity until the end of April or later. We’ll take an in depth look at what undergrads from every class and school do with their summer and discuss taking “traditional” summer jobs like life guarding or camp counseling. All that, plus the usual rundown of this week’s events.
Enjoy!
This week, Mylène and Michael are honored to welcome Julie Vick into the studio. Julie is the co-author of The Academic Job Search Handbook, which has just been released in a new 5th edition. Julie talks about her many years of working with graduate students in Career Services, the challenges facing them today and why The Academic Job Search Handbook is such an important tool. We also discuss the many services offered to Penn PhD students on the academic and expanded job search. All that, plus the usual run down of this week’s events.
