[Plsgs] FW: Professional Development Support For Graduate Students

[Lambert, Georgina M - (glambert)]

Hello University of Arizona Graduate Students!

I hope you are well and taking care of yourself during this unprecedented time. As a reminder, I'm Joel Muraco, your Career Counselor in the Graduate College. I just wanted to reach out and provide some potentially helpful resources during this time.

Many of us are likely working from home or taking classes fully online for the foreseeable future. As such, I wanted to share a quick read with tips for working from home effectively<https://www.theskimm.com/live-smarter/career/tips-for-working-from-home-effectively?utm_source=daily_skimm&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=daily_skimm_guides>. If you've found a good rhythm that works for you - great! If not, perhaps some of the tips in this article can help you get back on track.

Additionally, some of you may be worried about what all of this means for the economy and finding a job. Right now, it's difficult to say. That said, there are resources available to support you! One such resource that has been created and is being regularly updated by Cultivated Culture is their webpage COVID-19: Job Market Insights & Job Search Strategies From Experts<https://cultivatedculture.com/covid19-job-market-insights/>.

Others may be thinking about funding as a result of all of this. Rest assured, opportunities exist! See attached for one such opportunity - the College of Education is looking to hire a number of instructors at .25 FTE for the fall semester. If interested, you'll need to move quickly as applications are due April 8th.

Lastly, for any and all of your career needs, I am available for 1:1 career advising appointments by phone or Zoom. You can schedule an appointment with me using Handshake<https://arizona.joinhandshake.com/appointments/new> (select "Graduate College Career Advising" and follow the prompts) or by email (muraco at email.arizona.edu<mailto:muraco at email.arizona.edu>). I also want to alert you to my Career Froward Sprint program - while the next cohort starts Monday, April 6th, a new cohort starts every month so keep it on your radar for when the time is right for you. About the Sprint:

Career Forward Sprint: Beyond the Academy
For graduate students and postdoctoral scholars currently in or about to enter an internship or job search, this fully online (D2L) program teaches strategies to help you successfully navigate your career beyond the academy, while presenting your most professional self. The 1-month cohort experience covers: 1) career research and discovery, 2) building your network and your professional self, 3) developing your application materials, and 4) preparing for and practicing interviews. In typical Sprint fashion, recommended daily tasks help ensure you keep moving forward! A new cohort begins every month. The program is free, but space is limited. If you have questions or want to reserve your spot, please email me (muraco at email.arizona.edu<mailto:muraco at email.arizona.edu>).

Take care of yourself and each other.

Cheers,
Joel
