October marks Careers in Student Affairs Month! 2020 is a year like no other, but what remains consistent is TPE's commitment to providing critical resources and connections to support you throughout your career trajectory. Given today’s landscape of hiring freezes and furloughs, redistributed workloads, and new job responsibilities as a response to COVID, the how-tos of the #SAGrad and #SAPro job search have changed. With fewer available jobs, graduate students and new pro...fessionals must look differently towards opportunities within Student Affairs, including searching for Higher Ed/Student Affairs adjacent roles. TPE is proud to launch a NEW (and free!) 4-part series geared towards 2nd-year graduate students will provide a jumpstart to the job search process. Sessions will provide practical tips for job search readiness to help participants stand out among other candidates. Come to one, come to all! Topics, dates, and registration link in each event. Learn more and register. (Sessions will be recorded and made available on the TPE YouTube page.) https://www.theplacementexchange.org/events
