What you say in a job interview is important but so is what you do AFTER the interview! @NLundsteen gives tips on thank you notes and follow-up in this @insidehighered column: insidehighered.com/advice/2018/08… #withaPhD

How can graduate advisors help their students navigate their careers? @jmvanwyck offers some good advice in @insidehighered: insidehighered.com/advice/2018/06… #withaPhD

I love this framing by @anniemaxfield1 @imaginephd: Career development professionals are not there to serve faculty or make their roles easier. We are educators that bring complementary skills; we are thought-partners on how to strengthen graduate education. #2018GCC

@anniemaxfield1 asks: What would culture change look like? @catsonatardis says: Changes in admissions processes and decisions. @laura_schram says: Departments posting ALL career outcomes, not just alumni who become faculty. #2018GCC

Figuring out what those factors mean for you—and then finding a workplace that aligns—is a process of assessment, exploration, and reflection. #2018GCC #PhDchat twitter.com/grad_careers/s…

Good morning! This morning, @catsonatardis will be tweeting from the Graduate Career Consortium conference! @Grad_Careers #GCC2018
