Date: 

Thursday, March 21, 2019, 10:30am to 12:00pm

Location: 

Room 111

Hear about the career paths taken by the panelists, learn tips for making a job change, and reframe the idea that there is only one path forward in a library career.

Abstract

Curious about how to move ahead in your position? Ever wanted to ask your supervisor how to get promoted but were afraid? Thinking of taking that next step in your career but not sure how? Worried that you’re not on the “right” path in your career?  We can tell you this: there is no “right” path, only a multitude of ways to get where you want to be.

Each of our panelists has traveled interesting roads to their current positions. Come and hear them discuss their career history, career choices, and the skills that helped them advance. Each panelist has a unique story to tell.

There will be time for audience Q&A.
