SPECIAL

Session 068: On the Market: Strategies for Landing a Job
Room: Salon 5

Sponsor: Program Committee

Organizer: Tsedale M. Melaku, Baruch College, CUNY

Presider: Angie Beeman, Baruch College, CUNY

Description: 

In this session, our panelists will share their experiences applying for jobs and hiring for various positions inside and outside of higher education. This session is intended to help you improve your chances of getting a job, whether inside academia (e.g., post-doc, balanced, research, or teaching-focused positions) or outside of the academy (e.g., non-profits, advocacy, foundations, Think tanks). We would like this session to be an immersive experience, where we hope that session attendees will include individuals who were on the job market this past year and are willing to share their experiences with others. Graduate students a year or more away from searching for a position are encouraged to attend.

Panelists:

Adriana Leela Bohm, Delaware County Community College

Elroi J. Windsor, University of West Georgia
