A few weeks ago, Katy Meyers at GradHacker wrote about what graduate students can do to improve their job outlook in an uncertain job market. Speaking of the startling percentage of unemployed graduate students, Meyers argued for the need to develop transferable skills out of what we already practice.

The same could be said for GA/TAs. Whether teaching is something you want to pursue as a career or just a part of your studies, your experience in the classroom is helping you to develop transferable skills. Marketing those skills to potential employers is the hard part, and that’s where Preparing for the Job Fair 2014 Workshops come in handy.

This Friday Next Tuesday, November 26th, will be the first of four workshops focusing on everything from resumes, to interviewing, to career planning. The workshops all lead up to Job Fair 2014 in January, explained below:

For the 15th year in a row, the University of Windsor and St. Clair College have partnered to host this recruitment event for our students and graduates.  Each year, we welcome over 60 companies who are actively recruiting for employment or volunteer opportunities.  Approximately 1500 students and alumni from the University of Windsor and St. Clair College have historically attended.
