If you’ve been out of the workforce to care for children or a family member, it can feel like a huge decision to go back to work. Do you want to pursue the same career path you were on prior to your time away or do you want to pivot into a new career industry/role? What skills and experiences did you gain during your break from work and how can you use them to your benefit? Are there any gaps or skills you need to develop? Let’s talk about it!
April Coffee Chat with Alumni | Register by Friday, March 28th, 2025 to participate! | Virtual
Whether you’re hoping to build your network professionally or just take a few minutes to meet someone new, sign up for these 1:1 alumni conversations!
Here’s how it works: Register by the end of the day on Friday, March 28th. Our team will match alumni for 1:1 conversations. On Tuesday, April 1st, we’ll connect each conversation pair with a short introductory email. Each conversation pair will work to find a time to meet that works for you both. It’s that easy. Plan to chat for 30-minutes, maybe over coffee or a quick bite to eat!
Feeling unfulfilled in your job or regretting a career move? You’re not alone—but you can find something better. In this webinar, Certified Career Coach Hallie Crawford will help you gain clarity, overcome obstacles, and design a career that truly fits you.
NYC Deacs, come join the Alumni Personal & Career Development Center and the School of Business Alumni Career Development team to talk about career transitions and next steps! We’ll discuss and identify your transferable skills and how to market them, do a deep dive on professional resumes with tailored feedback, and talk tips and strategies for networking and navigating a successful job search. This will be in person and food will be provided. This workshop is intended for alumni of all ages and stages of career (not for currently enrolled students).
Trying to find or land a solid, professional part-time job role in your desired career industry can feel like trying to spot a unicorn (it’s difficult or maybe even impossible!). Perhaps you’re wanting to reduce your work hours or dip your toe back into the working world after a career break and a flexible, part-time role would be best for you. How do you go about finding these types of positions? Who in your network could help you? Let’s talk about it!
