How do you turn the job you have… into the job you want?
Whether you're looking to move up, move into a new role, or completely change careers, job crafting can help you shape your current role into a springboard for your next move.
We're teaming up with Ashley Gutierrez, Learning and Development Manager at AlertMedia, and members of the AlertMedia team to help you:
identify companies that support individual career growth
explore roles within your current org
position yourself to move up or move over
and much more!
This workshop is hosted at the AlertMedia world headquarters and is open to all graduate students, postdocs and graduate alumni. AlertMedia capacity is limited to 30 students, so the application process is competitive.
If you are selected, you'll receive a notification via Handshake no later than April 9.
Questions? Contact Kirsten Ronald, Program Manager for Career Management, at kirsten.ronald@austin.utexas.edu.
