Are you a Penn Professional or Graduate student preparing for your career after Penn? As a follow up from the October 2018 Career Preparation session, GAPSA will host a hands on workshop focused on translating specific grad school / past work experiences into what the job market demands today. This will be an extremely interactive session and result in a unique “playbook” each student will build on-site and can take with them to continuously update / revise as they prepare for their post graduate school careers.
This workshop will cover key topics like:
Assessing the Skills Needed in the Workplace vs. the Current Skills You Possess
Developing Relationships with Mentors & Sponsors to Help with Job Placement
Strategic Networking (e.g., Networking at Conferences, Informational Interviews, etc.)
Interview Methods to Help Translate Your Experiences To Get The Job You Want
Appropriate Dress for Your Workplace
Two key subjects we will focus on will be:
1. Interview preparation – Practicing how to translate graduate school experience, experience in the lab, past work experience before graduate school, etc. into tangible value for what is needed in the work place
2. A deep dive on salary negotiations - where students have time to do 1 on 1 practice sessions for their own personalized salary negotiation scenarios, research their own salary ranges for their specific career, identify the salary negotiation levers that are most important to their current and specific life circumstances, etc.
The workshop will be led by Jasmine Adams, a media guru with a passion for career progression. She specializes in strategic change, talent management, organizational design and operational
effectiveness. For more info about Jasmine, please visit her website at www.CareerConvos.com.
Please note: his event is for ALL graduate and professional students!
