“Preparation isn’t luck. It’s something you can start right now.” When it comes to interviewing, there are steps you can take to ensure you tell an effective, impactful story about yourself and your qualifications. In this week’s Carpe Careers post, (published by Inside Higher Ed), GCC members Peter Harrington and Dinuka G. offer strategies for preparing for interviews for teaching-track positions in academia. https://lnkd.in/eK4aPyir For GCC members interested in writing for Inside Higher Ed through Carpe Careers, please visit the Carpe Careers section on the GCC website or contact the co-chairs, Mabel Perez-Oquendo, PhD and Emma Newcombe, Ph.D.  #GraduateCareerConsortium #GCC #ProfessionalDevelopment #GradStudents #PhDs #Postdocs #HigherEd #InsideHigherEd #Teaching #Interviewing

"As career and professional development practitioners, we have an obligation to care not only for our community but also for ourselves as we help graduate students and postdocs navigate an often-unknown, shapeshifting career journey.” In this week’s Carpe Careers post (published by Inside Higher Ed), GCC member Alexandria Yen, PhD offers three steps to help graduate career development professionals identify, expand, and strengthen their communities. Yen argues that, with a richer community, career professionals can better care for themselves and the scholars they serve. https://lnkd.in/eRHEHU4n For GCC members interested in writing for Inside Higher Ed through Carpe Careers, please visit the Carpe Careers section on the GCC website or contact the co-chairs, Mabel Perez-Oquendo, PhD and Emma Newcombe, Ph.D. #GraduateCareerConsortium #GCC #ProfessionalDevelopment #GradStudents #PhDs #Postdocs #HigherEd #InsideHigherEd

International graduate students and postdocs bring cutting-edge research to the United States and contribute billions of dollars to the U.S. economy. Yet despite these contributions, they often face a difficult, lonely road through higher education and the U.S. immigration system. In this week’s Carpe Careers post (published by Inside Higher Ed), GCC members Zarna Pala, Ph. D., Rashmi Raj, PhD, and Henry Boachi highlight ways that institutions can create ecosystems of support for international students. Through a combination of career development, community building, mentorship, and policy information, universities can “empower…international talent” and “ensure that global knowledge continues to thrive.” https://lnkd.in/gE9MvsBu For GCC members interested in writing for Inside Higher Ed through Carpe Careers, please visit the Carpe Careers section on the GCC website or contact the co-chairs, Mabel Perez-Oquendo, PhD and Emma Newcombe, Ph.D. #GraduateCareerConsortium #GCC #ProfessionalDevelopment #GradStudents #PhDs #Postdocs #HigherEd #InsideHigherEd #InternationalStudents
