Alumni Career Services Spotlight
Welcome the Class of 2018 into the UGA Family!
Take a look at last year's Freshman Welcome, sponsored by the UGA Alumni Association's Student Alumni Council. This year, incoming students will receive the official welcome on August 17th in Sanford Stadium.
Take time to look back today. What was your most rewarding experience at UGA?
Don't Quit Learning: How to Improve your Skills in a Changing Economy
Here are a few tips to help stay competitive in the job market:
1. Utilize FREE trainings from your current organization or community workshops.
- Many organizations/companies have FREE training and development available for its current employees through its Human Resources department. Check out your HR department and see if there is an online program or a face-to-face training that you can take. More than likely, your boss would allow 4-5 hours out of the office for professional development, especially if you offered to train other colleagues on the content you learned.
- If your HR department does not provide these trainings, then check out your local newspaper. Many libraries, churches, and civic organizations offer up FREE classes to enhance computer skills, budgeting skills, and additional technical skills that might help in the working world.
2. Take continuing education courses.
The University of Georgia Center for Continuing Education has 18 areas of focus with several options for courses, including online and face-to-face classes for a small fee. Topics vary from Computer Skills and Applications, Healthcare and Pharmacy, Grant Writing and Nonprofits to Real Estate. Click on the link above to check out a full list of courses.
3. Attend a professional, industry-specific conference.
Most industries have a professional organization or governing body from which it most identifies. If you're a member of a professional organization through your company/organization, go to the next annual conference. First, ALWAYS ask if your boss would be willing to send you on the company's dollar for professional development. If the answer is no, then consider using your money to fund the trip. While it might be an investment on the front end (most conferences range from $100-$1000), it will be worth it if it helps you to enhance your skills and keeps you in the loop about trends in your field. Again, this is an easy sale to your boss if you're willing to bring back the information to share with your colleagues.
4. Go back to school.
Going back to school can be risky; but for some, it's a great way to gain new skills and content knowledge to give them the edge they need. Check out Forbe's
12 Tips For Professionals Who Want To Go Back To School for great tips and considerations before making such a big decision.
Give Back to UGA through Alumni Panels!
Seeking Master and Ph.D. graduates in the humanities and social sciences who have corporate jobs
The UGA Career Center is planning a panel discussion for graduate students focused on finding jobs outside of the academy. If you are a Master or Ph.D. graduate in the humanities or social sciences fields with a corporate job and you are interested in serving on the panel, please feel free to contact me at mawells@uga.edu. The panel discussion will take place in the late fall; however, a date has not been set.Seeking International Student Alumni
The UGA Career Center presents "Working in the US: Campus and Career Resources for International Students.” This panel will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 11 from 6:00 – 7:30 pm in MLC 248. We hope to find alumni who can share information with students that will help them understand the various career-related resources on campus and the overall landscape of working in the United States.
**If you are an International Student Alumni currently working in the US, we'd love for you to serve on our panel! Please contact Megan Flora at meflora@uga.edu if you are interested in participating.
