From: Michael Ernst To: Recent PhDs Subject: Grad student seminar on job searches Date: Sun, 3 May 1998 16:47:02 -0700 (PDT) I'm organizing a graduate student seminar on "How I got my job", to be held on Wed, June 3 at 5:00. I would like to assemble a panel of four or five people who are currently doing a job search, or did so recently and are still in town to talk about it. If this describes you, please share your experience with other students! Your colleagues can benefit from emulating what you did right and avoiding what went wrong for you. This isn't a high-pressure responsibility. First, each panelist talks for about five minutes about various aspects of looking for a job; I will supply a list of possible topics, but you are most welcome to add comments on areas I overlooked. The second half of the seminar will consist of answering questions from the audience. If you can help with this, I would be most grateful; let me know whether you are willing to participate. Thanks, -Mike
