Individualized Drop-Ins Available:
Fall is often a very busy time for our graduate students. To increase accessibility of services, I am piloting a limited number of department/school-based career advising “drop-in” sessions this fall. If you are interested in having a career educator host virtual drop-ins specifically for your students, please reply to this email and I can provide more information.
Featured Resource:
As we head into the busy fall recruiting season, I want to remind folks of UCI’s Big Interview platform. Students can learn about and practice interviewing for a variety of different industries and positions, including academia. Attached is a flyer regarding mock academic interview prep on Big Interview. Students can access Big Interview with their UCI email address: https://uci.biginterview.com/members/dashboard
Grad Student Career Exploration Resources:
UCI grads have several career exploration and planning tools available to them. I encourage students, staff, and faculty to check out our “Grad Career Exploration Tools” recording for a brief demo and overview of 3 excellent resources.
