I'm really looking forward to this year's American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) convention, which will be held at the Philadelphia Convention Center November 16 - 18.  I'll be hosting a full day of mini-workshops and one-on-one Q & A on Saturday, November 17th.    We'll talk about resume writing, job searching, interviewing, and more, with a focus on challenges and opportunities unique to teaching languages.  It shaping up to be an exciting event!  If you're interested in registering or finding out more you can check out the ACTFL website.

Advice for Recent College Grads

6/4/2012

0 Comments

 
With the end of the school year and summer in the air, there's a lot of talk about where college grads can look for work.  I have lots of ideas!

I was recently quoted in Lee Miller's article for the New Jersey Star Ledger / NJ.com talking about jobs in the hospitality arena, which is picking up hiring in anticipation of continued growth, but there are actually many possibilities!    

The post-college job you're seeking doesn't need to be your forever career choice, but it does make sense to seek out employment in a field you're interested in growing in.  As I've previously mentioned,  certain well-paying career paths are still rapidly growing - veterinarians, biomedical engineers, medical scientists, physical therapists, audiologists, dental hygienists, and diagnostic medical sonographers are just some of the professions recognized by the BLS among the fastest growing jobs.

This week's issue of Bloomberg Businessweek features a story on people returning to work after long-term unemployment (7+ months).  With the disappointing jobs report from this past week, it's especially nice to see an article about people going back to work.
