Recording of ‘Flourishing during Job Searches’, a virtual workshop for graduate students and postdocs

Wednesday, April 28th, 3:30-5:00 PM – Dr. Simula, is a professional development specialist at Georgia Tech and a board-certified career and professional coach. An experienced professional developer and higher ed administrator, Brandy’s work focuses on helping Ph.D.s and Ph.D.s-to-be develop the skills, resources, and connections they need to flourish personally and professionally.

 In this interactive, reflective workshop, you’ll develop your own individual strategies for thriving during job searches, including for traditional faculty positions as well as diverse careers in and beyond the academy. The workshop addresses how to develop and hold effective boundaries around intellectual and emotional job search labor, strategic management of the job search process, and how to balance a job search with research and teaching, personal and family commitments, and self-care. You’ll leave the workshop with a personalized plan for combatting job search-related stress and uncertainty, a diagram of your job search support network, and strategies for navigating the job market during a global health pandemic and the resulting economic downturn.
