Career Book Club: “Switchers” by Dr. Dawn Graham (Webinar, October 2021)

Are you stuck in an unsatisfying job? In the wrong profession? An industry that just isn’t a good fit? If so, you’re not alone. We frequently meet with alums to discuss career transition and the pandemic has caused even more people to consider making subtle or drastic professional changes. Job seekers face specific challenges when moving to a new field, and in this webinar we share some effective strategies as we reflect on Switchers. The book, by psychologist and career coach Dr. Dawn Graham, addresses issues including how to identify transferable skills, align your identity with your new aspirations, turn tough interview questions to your advantage, and convince hiring managers to take a chance on you.
