The event will be hosted and sponsored by Pace University’s Career Services specifically Dr. Barry Miller and Ms. Stephanie Elson. There will be two sessions, one for bachelor degree recipients and one for MBA degree recipients. The clinic is free and available to recent graduates and alumni. The brevity of the sessions allows for one or two questions per graduate and questions are those which can be responded to within a short timeframe. Questions in the past have included: how to respond to specific interview questions, how to rework a resume, how to conduct a job search in many industries at once, how to increase the odds of a successful job search, and is it realistic to pursue a particular industry given a person’s specific work experience and level of contacts. For additional information, contact Pace Career Services via email at bmiller@pace.edu, selson@pace.edu or Susan Goldberg at coaching@susangoldbergsearch.com. Information can also be found on Facebook and Linkedin Groups, Pace-Lubin MBA Alumni. We look forward to seeing you there.

The article written for this week’s addition of “Woman Around Town” addresses two life changing events: getting married and changing one’s job. The title “Change is Good: Are You The Bride or the Cellphone” incorporates the two topics discussed in the article: planning a wedding while not jeopardizing your job, and, when and why to consider a job change. The wedding topic was part of the week’s special edition devoted to June weddings. The job change topic was a response to a reader who asked, “why interview, if your job isn’t broken”. It includes a list of reasons to change jobs despite the fact that the current job may be adequate. The cellphone is used as an analogy that refers to an individual and their career and is explained in the piece.
